Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Montevallo
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 7.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Shelby County average of 4.3 and above the Alabama statewide average of 4.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
