Mobile Eviction Risk: Moderate

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $42,625 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.4/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Mobile County average of 4.0.

Court records carry 148 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,190, 11% above the Mobile average.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 4.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
