Twickenham Historic District spans 2 census tracts of Huntsville, AL and houses 7,177 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Filings are well documented here: 284 across 2 observed tracts. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 6.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,286, 10% above the Huntsville average of $1,171.
The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #6 of 11 neighborhoods in Huntsville.
