Windcrest Heights maps to a single census tract in Florence, AL and houses 4,064 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
13% 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.

That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Florence. For a like-for-like read, Briarcliff and Forest Hills score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $51,705.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
