Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whispering Pines

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.5/10. At $1,295 a month, rents run 35% over what the rest of Dothan commands. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 31% here against 38.9% across Houston County. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.9 points below the Houston County average of 3.9. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
