Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Waldo
The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 43.7% against 31.5% nationally.
It sits 1.3 points above the Talladega County average of 4.1. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 29 filings here across 10 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 2.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
