Robinswood takes in 2 census tracts of Gainesville, FL and houses 7,888 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Gainesville rate of 42.9%.
This is a renter market: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 567 across 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,460, 13% above the Gainesville average of $1,296.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2018 against a 4.4% peak. That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Gainesville.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Daysville and University Village South.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
