Green Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Tuscaloosa, AL, population 4,027. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Cost burden runs 41% against 33.5% citywide, putting Green Hills 7.8% over its own city.
The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 91 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 3.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #20 of 24 neighborhoods in Tuscaloosa. Against average income of $85,820, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,114, close to the Tuscaloosa average. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
