Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Village
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. Average gross rent is $669, 30% below the Bessemer average.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Housing insecurity runs 26.9% against 14.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.3.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 208 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 5.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
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.
