Decatur Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,125, 26% above the Decatur average.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 6% 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 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $92,417, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
