Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Neely

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 9.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mobile eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Mobile County average of 4.9 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 32.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 25.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 168 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 2.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.4% of renter households in 2006.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
