What drives eviction risk in Crosstown
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $28,942 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Average gross rent is $870, 26% below the Memphis average. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.7% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 1.1 points above the Shelby County average of 4.3. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Shelby County average of 48.3%.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
