Marks Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Birmingham

Against Jefferson County at 46.3%, 72% of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 35.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $38,054, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.9% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 243 evictions over 11 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 9.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Birmingham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
