Kenwood Eviction Risk: Lower , Hoover

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 59.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $2,016 a month, rents run 38% over what the rest of Hoover commands. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.3 points below the Jefferson County average of 4.3.

Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 36 evictions over 10 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 2.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
