Hueytown Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Jefferson County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 92 filings here across 11 tracked years.

The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,442 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Hueytown commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
