Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Columbiana

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 14 filings here across 6 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 1.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 42nd 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $94,472, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Shelby County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $935, close to the Columbiana average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
