Anniston Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.8/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Calhoun County average of 4.0. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 144 filings here across 14 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 2.6% of renter households were served. At $870 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Anniston commands.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $82,807, 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.
