Dauphin Island Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 60.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Against Mobile County at 43.6%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Set annual rent against average income of $64,615 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.0 points below the Mobile County average of 4.0.

Housing insecurity runs 5.9% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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.
