Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sylacauga
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. At $1,028 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Sylacauga commands. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 25.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 0.7 points below the Talladega County average of 4.1. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Against average income of $73,095, annual rent is just 17%.
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.
