Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Phenix City

Cost burden runs 92% here against 46.8% across Lee County. Average gross rent is $1,355, 40% above the Phenix City average.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Lee County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% 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 4.1/10, 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.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
