10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,349 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Huntsville commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $71,913.
