South Memphis Eviction Risk: Moderate

Disability prevalence runs 52.7% against 31.5% nationally. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $804, 32% below the Memphis average.

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $29,293, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Against Shelby County at 48.3%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.1% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Memphis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
