Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Overton Manor
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 6.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Jefferson County average of 5.3 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 17th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 109 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 1.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.6% of renter households in 2002.
