Nottingham Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 12,345 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Nottingham takes in 2 census tracts of Irondale, AL, population 12,345. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Irondale rate of 28.8%.

The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $844 a month, rents sit 36% under what the rest of Irondale commands.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Court records for this tract carry 447 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 18.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Hampton Place and Jefferson Park. Against average income of $126,452, annual rent is only 8%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
