South Gate Eviction Risk: Lower , Huntsville

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 6.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Huntsville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Madison County average of 4.3 and below the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 1.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.1% of renter households in 2007.

In CDC survey modeling, about 6.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
