Gulf Dale Eviction Risk: Moderate , Mobile

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 43.6% across Mobile County.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 28.1% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 183 evictions over 10 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Mobile County average of 4.0.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2006 at 5.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing.

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.
