Cloverdale Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 14,037 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3–5

Cloverdale Historic District takes in 4 census tracts of Montgomery, AL and houses 14,037 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 32.3% citywide, putting Cloverdale Historic District 14.0% over its own city.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 15.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records carry 916 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

SNAP participation is 25.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.2% of renter households. At $992 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Montgomery commands. That places it #7 of 6 neighborhoods in Montgomery.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 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.
