Allenville Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 2,706 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.7–5

Allenville takes in 2 census tracts of Mobile, AL, population 2,706. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Mobile rate of 33.0%.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 35.6% of adults, 17.8 points above the national rate.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $892, 16% below the Mobile average of $1,068. Court records for this tract carry 389 eviction filings.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 14.8% of renter households.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 26 neighborhoods in Mobile.

For a like-for-like read, North Crichton and Orange Grove score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $36,377.

With little internal variation, 4.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
