Arbor Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Hoover, AL and houses 4,443 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The voucher gap is 23.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 257 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. Against a Hoover baseline of 29.1%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 34.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $1,568 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Hoover commands.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Hoover, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
