· range 3.4–4.8
Briarcliff is a 2-tract neighborhood of Florence, AL, population 9,503. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 37% against 26.3% citywide, putting Briarcliff 11.0% over its own city. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.4 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 182 across 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 3.2% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $760, 7% below the Florence average of $820. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Florence. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
