Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sylacauga
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 1.3 points above the Talladega County average of 4.1. Food insecurity runs 27.9% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 24.2% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 249 evictions over 11 years of observation. At $685 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Sylacauga commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when 7.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing.
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.
