Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Audubon Place

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Tuscaloosa eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Tuscaloosa County average of 4.7 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 31st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 0.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.1% of renter households in 2002.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
