Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Falkville
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below 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.
