Memphis Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. On the high side, economic stress reads 6.9/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,190, close to the Memphis average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $44,738.

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.
