Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Deven Dale

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 4.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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

The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 39th 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 210 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 5.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.5% of renter households in 2016.

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