Dothan Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

The voucher gap is 24.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.

At $1,116 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Dothan commands. Against the Houston County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $77,917, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
