Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Edmonton Heights Historic District

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 43.3% against 17.8% nationally. 30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $28,542 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

72% 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. At $848 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Huntsville commands.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 44.3% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Madison County average of 3.7.

Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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