South Gate Eviction Risk: Lower , Huntsville

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. At $961 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Huntsville commands.

SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $71,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
