Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Scottsboro
The main counterweight is regional political climate at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.
44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Jackson County average of 35.8%. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Food insecurity runs 30.7% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 19.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Against the Jackson County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Average gross rent is $924, 11% above the Scottsboro average.
On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10.
