Phenix City Eviction Risk: Moderate

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

Average gross rent is $1,264, 31% above the Phenix City average. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $46,389 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

SNAP participation runs 30.1% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.7% against 14.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 14.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Russell County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
