Exum is a one-tract neighborhood of Fairfield, AL and houses 528 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.7/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.
The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is housing-court posture at 9.4/10.
22.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 38.4% of adults, 20.6 points above the national rate. At $927 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Fairfield commands.
roughly one in two of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $43,988.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
