Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chickasaw
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Chickasaw, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores 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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 134 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 4.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.1% of renter households in 2013.
The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 74th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
