Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Crichton
The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Cost burden runs 52% here against 43.6% across Mobile County. Disability prevalence runs 45.1% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 24.0% against 14.2% nationally.
It sits 0.9 points above the Mobile County average of 4.0. Court records carry 197 eviction filings across 10 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 4.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
