Cloverdale is a one-tract neighborhood of Tuscaloosa, AL and houses 10,087 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Annualized rent equals 56% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Cost burden runs 59% against 33.5% citywide, putting Cloverdale 25.8% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 64%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 98% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
29% 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. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 38.4% of adults, 20.6 points above the national rate.
At $790 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Tuscaloosa commands. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. SNAP participation is 28.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 0.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 24 mapped neighborhoods of Tuscaloosa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
