Overton Manor Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,622 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Overton Manor maps to a single census tract in Vestavia Hills, AL and houses 2,622 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 33.2% citywide, putting Overton Manor 16.8% over its own city.

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. 14% 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.

The filing record is not thin: 109 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $1,377 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Vestavia Hills commands.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.4% in 2016 against a 2.6% peak. That places it #3 of 8 neighborhoods in Vestavia Hills. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $79,954.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
