Huntsville Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 54% here against 39.4% across Madison County. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

The voucher gap is 32.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 5.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 2.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 filings here across 3 tracked years. Against the Madison County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2005 at 2.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $110,956, annual rent is just 18%.

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.
