Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alabaster

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The voucher gap is 28.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.8/10.

At $1,628 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Alabaster commands. The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions over 6 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Shelby County average of 3.8 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
