Smiths Station Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $818, 19% below the Smiths Station average. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 0.9 points below the Lee County average of 3.9. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $57,900, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
