Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Montgomery
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 7.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Montgomery eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Montgomery County average of 5.4 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 938 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 11.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 23.4% of renter households in 2001.
In CDC survey modeling, about 30.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 22.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
