Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Florence

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 66.9% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 70%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $504 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Florence commands.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $16,500, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.5% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Lauderdale County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

The filing record is not thin: 119 evictions over 10 years of observation.

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.
