The Campground Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,426 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 5–5

The Campground maps to a single census tract in Mobile, AL, population 1,426. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 33.0% citywide, putting The Campground 22.5% over its own city.

Food insecurity affects 43.5% of adults, 25.7 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 39.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $27,026 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $804 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Mobile commands. On the high side is economic stress at 7.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 185 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 6.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.5% in 2016 against a 6.9% peak.

Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Mobile, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Sherwood and Toulminville score within a fraction of it.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
