Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Grove Hill

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 46.8% across Lee County.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, housing-court posture reads 2.5/10. Against the Lee County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $112,045, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
