Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Edmonton Heights Historic District

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $38,376 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 44.6% against 31.5% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.1 points above the Madison County average of 3.7.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 331 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 6.6% of renter households were served.

At $1,071 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Huntsville commands.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
