Filings peaked in 2013 at 3.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Birmingham.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
