Buena Vista Eviction Risk: Moderate , Tuscaloosa

Against Tuscaloosa County at 43.3%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $27,074, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Tuscaloosa County average of 4.1. Average gross rent is $891, 16% below the Tuscaloosa average.

The filing record is not thin: 284 evictions over 6 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 16.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10.

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.
