Brentwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Dothan, AL and houses 6,517 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
16% 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 voucher gap is 19.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,069, 11% above the Dothan average of $960. That places it #8 of 11 neighborhoods in Dothan. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
