Carlen Eviction Risk: Lower , Mobile

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 32% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Mobile County average of 43.6%. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Mobile County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 137 evictions over 10 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 3.3% of renter households were served. 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $115,663, annual rent is just 12%.

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.
