Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Mill Village

Average gross rent is $1,122, 57% above the Selma average. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

The voucher gap is 36.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.8/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 6 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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.
