2 census tracts · pop 10,415 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10
· range 4.3–5.1
Raleigh takes in 2 census tracts of Memphis, TN, population 10,415. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. Against a Memphis baseline of 33.2%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
35% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Memphis, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Orange Mound and Egypt score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,184, close to the Memphis average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $48,233.
61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
