Bridlewood takes in 3 census tracts of Mobile, AL, population 9,701. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Mobile baseline of 33.0%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 629 evictions logged in this tract.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Food insecurity affects 27.1% of adults, 9.3 points above the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 14.9% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 8.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Mobile, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
