Marks Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.9/10.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

65% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 46.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Average gross rent is $903, 18% below the Birmingham average of $1,107. Court records carry 2,127 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 15.1% of renter households. That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Birmingham.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
