About eviction risk in Pine Hill, AL

Pine Hill, AL has an eviction risk score of 3.8 out of 10, placing it in the low-risk tier for landlords operating in Wilcox County and the state of Alabama. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 24.9% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. About 30.8% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 41.8%, unemployment 2.0%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Wilcox County voted Democratic by 37.5 points — classified as strongly tenant-leaning for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.

What this score means for landlords
