Huntington Park spans 2 census tracts of Hoover, AL and houses 8,055 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Hoover rate of 29.1%.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 18.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records for this tract carry 1,025 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 12.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.3% in 2016 against a 12.4% peak. That places it #2 of 16 neighborhoods in Hoover.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chapel Hill and Riverchase. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
