Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Vernon
Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.8/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.3/10.
Food insecurity runs 27.7% against 17.8% nationally. At $856 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Mount Vernon commands.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 50 filings here across 10 tracked years. Against the Mobile County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 6.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
