24% 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.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 36% of renter households. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Vestavia Hills, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
