Lamont Court Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,650 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lamont Court is a one-tract neighborhood of Dothan, AL and houses 2,650 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Dothan baseline of 28.7%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 62 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 5.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.9% in 2014, is well off that peak.

That places it #8 of 11 neighborhoods in Dothan. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $926, close to the Dothan average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
