Forest Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Cost burden runs about one in five against 26.3% citywide, putting Forest Hills 6.5% under its own city.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 87 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 4.7% of renter households. Average gross rent is $729, 11% below the Florence average of $820. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Florence, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Indian Springs and Windcrest Heights score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
