Neely spans 4 census tracts of Mobile, AL and houses 5,665 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Mobile rate of 33.0%.
Food insecurity affects 43.1% of adults, 25.3 points above the national rate. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $28,812 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $809 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Mobile commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Court records carry 306 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.8% of renter households.
On the high side is economic stress at 7/10.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
