Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Neely

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 6.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mobile eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Mobile County average of 4.9 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 43 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 2.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.8% of renter households in 2002.

In CDC survey modeling, about 32.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 26.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
