Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lower Grand Lagoon

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 6.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Lower Grand Lagoon, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Bay County average of 5.0 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 26th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 215 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 4.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.2% of renter households in 2008.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
