Anns Trailer Court Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,811 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 5.8–5.8

Anns Trailer Court is a one-tract neighborhood of Bessemer, AL and houses 3,811 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. 29% 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.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. 22.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Against a Bessemer baseline of 32.1%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.2/10. Disability prevalence reaches 47.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 4.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Bessemer, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are West Lake Highlands and Smith Highlands. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $984, close to the Bessemer average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
