Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Georgia Avenue
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Against Mobile County at 43.6%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 454 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Average gross rent is $911, 15% below the Mobile average.
Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Filings peaked in 2001 at 12.5% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Mobile. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 8.9% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the Mobile County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $56,563.
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.
