Calera Eviction Risk: Lower

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Cost burden runs 33% here against 40.0% across Shelby County. The voucher gap is 13.5%: 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. At $1,438 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Calera commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $93,272.

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.
