Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Calera
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 12 eviction filings across 5 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 14.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 0.7 points below the Shelby County average of 3.8.
Average gross rent is $1,445, 10% below the Calera average. The worst year on record was 2016, when 10.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
