Phenix City Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

Average gross rent is $696, 28% below the Phenix City average. Food insecurity runs 25.7% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Russell County average of 3.7.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $55,956, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.
