Anderson Place Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,281 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3–5.3

Anderson Place Historic District takes in 2 census tracts of Birmingham, AL and houses 9,281 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.3, a 2.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

At $1,395 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Birmingham commands. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 1,262 across 2 observed tracts. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Birmingham rate of 32.9%.

Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 13.1% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #17 of 20 neighborhoods in Birmingham.

Against average income of $88,004, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
