What drives eviction risk in Orange Grove
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Average gross rent is $495, 54% below the Mobile average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 46.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Disability prevalence runs 60.6% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 63%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $14,658, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Against the Mobile County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 501 eviction filings across 9 observed years.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
