· range 5.4–5.4
University Village South maps to a single census tract in Gainesville, FL, population 6,424. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Gainesville baseline of 42.9%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
34% 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. This is a renter market: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Set annual rent against average household income of $35,246 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. At $1,184 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Gainesville commands.
That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Gainesville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Daysville and Robinswood.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
