Opelika Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

Against the Lee County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $69,483, 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. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $933, close to the Opelika average.

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.
