Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chace Lake
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hoover eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Jefferson County average of 5.3 and in line with the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 74th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
In CDC survey modeling, about 13.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
