Dothan Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Houston County average of 38.9%.

At $843 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Dothan commands. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Houston County average of 3.9 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $51,645.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
