Meridianville Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 19.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Madison County average of 3.7. At $1,490 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Meridianville commands.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $107,860, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 36% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
