· range 4.4–4.8
Upper Twentieth Street Residential Historic District is a 3-tract neighborhood of Phenix City, AL and houses 8,057 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Against a Phenix City baseline of 32.7%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.3/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Food insecurity affects 35.9% of adults, 18.1 points above the national rate.
18.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records carry 427 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.4% of renter households.
At $897 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Phenix City commands. Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
