· range 3.7–5.4
Egypt is a 3-tract suburb of Memphis, TN, population 14,756. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 33.2% citywide, putting Egypt 28.6% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. That places it #15 of 26 neighborhoods in Memphis. For a like-for-like read, Medical District and Orange Mound score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,206, close to the Memphis average.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $46,707. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
