Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tuscaloosa

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $1,983, 88% above the Tuscaloosa average. The voucher gap is 74.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Tuscaloosa County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 5 eviction filings across 3 observed years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2002, when 11.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 7.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
