Skyland Manor maps to a single census tract in Tuscaloosa, AL, population 3,586. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
23% 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. 66% 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.
Average gross rent is $786, 25% below the Tuscaloosa average of $1,055. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 31.1% of adults, 13.3 points above the national rate.
Court records for this tract carry 246 eviction filings. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
15.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 22.9% of renter households. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 36% of renter households.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
