Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Etowah
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $930, 34% below the Etowah average. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Henderson County average of 4.0.
Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 95 evictions over 15 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 15.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $92,713, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
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.
