Madison Station Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. 70% 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, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,180, 19% below the Madison average. The filing record is not thin: 579 evictions over 13 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 4.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $82,528, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Madison County average of 3.7 closely.

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.
