Navco is a one-tract neighborhood of Mobile, AL, population 1,808. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Mobile rate of 33.0%.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 13.9% of renter households.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Mobile, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Carlen and Park Place.
Against average income of $119,167, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,115, close to the Mobile average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
