Breeding Industrial Park spans 2 census tracts of Athens, AL and houses 6,816 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,276, 42% above the Athens average of $899.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 94 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 5.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2015, is well off that peak. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $83,441, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
