Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lyons Park
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
At $845 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Mobile commands. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 288 eviction filings across 10 observed years.
Against the Mobile County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2002, when 18.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
