Indian Hills maps to a single census tract in Pelham, AL and houses 4,975 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 41% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Pelham rate of 30.2%. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. At $1,263 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Pelham commands.
The filing record is not thin: 109 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 4.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.6% in 2016 against a 4.2% peak.
Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $75,075.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
