Roebuck Eviction Risk: Lower , Birmingham

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. At $1,301 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Birmingham commands. Court records carry 85 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
