Vann is a one-tract neighborhood of Dothan, AL, population 2,296. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Dothan rate of 28.7%.
At $531 a month, rents sit 45% under what the rest of Dothan commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 53%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 51.1% of adults, 33.3 points above the national rate. Disability prevalence reaches 59.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 23% 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.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Court records for this tract carry 260 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 6.3% of renter households.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
