Woodford is a one-tract neighborhood of Hoover, AL and houses 4,142 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $737, 49% below the Hoover average of $1,457.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Hoover rate of 29.1%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 4.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #4 of 16 neighborhoods in Hoover.
At 5% 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 $92,147, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
