Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Georgia Avenue
What moves this score most is economic stress at 4.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Mobile County average of 4.9 and in line with the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 454 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 8.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.5% of renter households in 2001.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
