Longmeadow Eviction Risk: Lower , Trussville

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. The voucher gap is 27.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Jefferson County average of 4.3.

Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 90 filings here across 11 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 8.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 16% 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 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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