Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Grove Hill
68% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Lee County average of 46.8%. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
At $1,849 a month, rents run 68% over what the rest of Auburn commands. The voucher gap is 58.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.
It sits 0.9 points below the Lee County average of 3.9. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10.
