Lyons Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Mobile, AL and houses 1,456 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 33.0% citywide, putting Lyons Park 24.0% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $845, 21% below the Mobile average of $1,068.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 288 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 18.0% of renter households. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 7.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #21 of 26 neighborhoods in Mobile. The closest comparables inside the same city are Canterbury Heights and Country Club Village.
59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
