Bellview Heights maps to a single census tract in Tuscaloosa, AL, population 2,425. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 45%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
75% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Tuscaloosa rate of 33.5%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,231, 17% above the Tuscaloosa average of $1,055.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Food insecurity affects 27.7% of adults, 9.9 points above the national rate.
That places it #1 of 24 neighborhoods in Tuscaloosa. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Glens and Skyland Manor. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
