Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Elkmont
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.
14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 79 filings here across 11 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally.
It sits 0.6 points below the Limestone County average of 4.0. Filings peaked in 2007 at 3.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $86,211, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
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.
