Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Forest Hills

What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at $3.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Florence eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Lauderdale County average of 3.7 and below the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 8.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 13th 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.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
