Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saks
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 5.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Saks, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Calhoun County average of 4.7 and in line with the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 11.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 62nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
