On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $734, 34% below the Birmingham average.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Cost burden runs 55% here against 46.3% across Jefferson County. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 599 evictions over 11 years of observation.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
