Yulee Residential Area takes in 3 census tracts of Gainesville, FL and houses 13,827 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 58%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Set annual rent against average household income of $18,731 and the ratio lands at 70%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 77% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Gainesville rate of 42.9%.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 64%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
This is a renter market: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 130 eviction filings.
At $1,092 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Gainesville commands. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 3.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Gainesville.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
