Duckpond spans 2 census tracts of Gainesville, FL and houses 8,878 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
