Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakewood Hills
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 2.7% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.
The voucher gap is 19.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Housing insecurity runs 5.1% against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 90 evictions over 11 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2001, when 4.1% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Birmingham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
