North Florence maps to a single census tract in Florence, AL and houses 4,578 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. 17% 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 poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Florence rate of 26.3%. The filing record is not thin: 182 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 2.5% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Florence. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Greenbrier Plaza and Seven Points.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $787, close to the Florence average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $40,279.
48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
