· range 3–3
Longmeadow spans 2 census tracts of Trussville, AL and houses 10,683 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Trussville rate of 27.1%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10.
16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,389 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Trussville commands.
The filing record is not thin: 90 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.6/10. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 8.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
