Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Alabaster

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 26 evictions over 7 years of observation.
It sits 0.8 points below the Shelby County average of 3.8. The worst year on record was 2013, when 2.5% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
