Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households.
That places it #21 of 24 neighborhoods in Tuscaloosa. The closest comparables inside the same city are Green Hills and Jerusalem Heights. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $998, close to the Tuscaloosa average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $52,917. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
