Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Skyland Manor

What moves this score most is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Tuscaloosa eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as 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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 246 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 9.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 22.9% of renter households in 2014.

In CDC survey modeling, about 21.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 15.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

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