Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highland Crest
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.9/10. The voucher gap is 49.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
At $1,889 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Hoover commands. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Jefferson County average of 46.3%. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.
It sits 1.3 points below the Jefferson County average of 4.3. SNAP participation runs 4.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% 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 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
