Country Club Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,179 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Country Club Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Tuscaloosa, AL, population 4,179. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Tuscaloosa rate of 33.5%.

32% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $36,849 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 143 eviction filings.

Average gross rent is $1,199, 14% above the Tuscaloosa average of $1,055. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 5.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 24 mapped neighborhoods of Tuscaloosa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
