Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Georgia Avenue
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Against the Mobile County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 167 evictions over 10 years of observation.
At $931 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Mobile commands. The worst year on record was 2006, when 7.6% 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $72,813, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
