Alabama is a one-tract neighborhood of Plant City, FL and houses 3,109 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Plant City baseline of 33.1%, 22% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,088, 23% below the Plant City average of $1,409. The filing record is not thin: 370 evictions logged in this tract.
The severe-burden share is 8%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 12.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 11 neighborhoods in Plant City.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Trapnell and Midway. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $51,379.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
