Northport Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

It sits 1.1 points below the Tuscaloosa County average of 4.1. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
