· range 3–3
Wine Ridge maps to a single census tract in Hoover, AL, population 6,520. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. At $2,288 a month, rents sit 57% over what the rest of Hoover commands.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 80.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 16.7% of renter households. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Hoover, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.
At 1% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Chace Lake and Polo Trace score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $140,125, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
