Hedgerow is a 2-tract neighborhood of Memphis, TN and houses 9,466 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 33.2% citywide, putting Hedgerow 25.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
At $1,426 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Memphis commands. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Memphis, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Crosstown and Cotton Row Historic District. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $61,273. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
