Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hartselle
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 5.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 24th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 123 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 4.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.5% of renter households in 2013.
