Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mobile

What moves this score most is economic stress at 5.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mobile eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Mobile County average of 4.9 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 255 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 5.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.5% of renter households in 2006.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 83rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
