Elm Industrial Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Athens

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Cost burden runs 37% here against 30.1% across Limestone County. Average gross rent is $734, 18% below the Athens average. Against the Limestone County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Court records carry 194 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Food insecurity runs 25.4% against 17.8% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 3.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
