Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bridlewood

Against Mobile County at 43.6%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 29.4% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 629 evictions over 10 years of observation.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $950 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Mobile commands. The worst year on record was 2007, when 14.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
