Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chimney Hills

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Jefferson County average of 5.3 and below the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 28th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
