Havenview is a one-tract neighborhood of Vestavia Hills, AL and houses 3,226 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 47%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 61% against 33.2% citywide, putting Havenview 27.7% over its own city. The voucher gap is 37.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.
At $1,741 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Vestavia Hills commands. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Vestavia Hills, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Liberty Park and Overton Manor score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $75,833.
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.
