What drives eviction risk in Elm Industrial Park
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.7/10. 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 Athens eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Limestone County average of 3.9 and in line with the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 194 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 2.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.5% of renter households in 2008.
In CDC survey modeling, about 18.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
