Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Neely

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 3.7/10. 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 below the Mobile County average of 4.9 and in line with the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 24.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 16.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 81st 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.
