Tuscaloosa Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 34% here against 43.3% across Tuscaloosa County.

At $785 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Tuscaloosa commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Against the Tuscaloosa County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $102,673, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
