Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northport
67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Court records carry 79 eviction filings across 6 observed years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 1.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 39% of renters. It tracks the Tuscaloosa County average of 4.1 closely. Average gross rent is $967, close to the Northport average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $59,008.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
