Red Hill Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of McCalla, AL, population 3,763. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,188 a month, rents sit 33% under what the rest of McCalla commands.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 246 eviction filings.
Cost burden runs 23% against 27.4% citywide, putting Red Hill Heights 4.7% under its own city. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 7.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.9% in 2016 against a 7.5% peak.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $73,750, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
