Decatur Eviction Risk: Lower

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 4.4/10. 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 Decatur 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 Morgan County average of 4.1 and below the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 292 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 2.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.4% of renter households in 2016.

In CDC survey modeling, about 13.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

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