Parkway Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 31,091 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 4.5–5.4

Parkway Village spans 7 census tracts of Memphis, TN, population 31,091. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Memphis baseline of 33.2%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average household income of $42,618 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.6/10. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Memphis, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Westwood and South Memphis score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 7 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Average gross rent runs $1,139, close to the Memphis average.

With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
