The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Shelby County average of 48.3%.
Disability prevalence runs 44.4% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 3/10. At $1,085 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Memphis commands. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
