Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pelham
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 6.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Pelham eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Shelby County average of 4.3 and below the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 62 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 2.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.6% of renter households in 2014.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
