Pinehurst takes in 6 census tracts of Mobile, AL and houses 22,556 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 33.0% citywide, putting Pinehurst 15.5% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 25% 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. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Filings are well documented here: 1,646 across 6 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.3% of renter households.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #19 of 26 neighborhoods in Mobile.
Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Suburban Heights and Winthrop Square. Average gross rent runs $1,074, close to the Mobile average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $56,510. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
