Woodmeadows is a one-tract neighborhood of Hoover, AL, population 2,626. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.1% citywide, putting Woodmeadows 22.0% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
At $1,248 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Hoover commands. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Hoover, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Polo Trace and Arbor Hill. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $67,813.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
