Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Florence

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 5.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Florence eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lauderdale County average of 3.7 and in line with the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 196 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 4.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.6% of renter households in 2012.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 95th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
