Mowat Highlands is a one-tract neighborhood of Lynn Haven, FL and houses 6,963 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs around two-thirds against 33.3% citywide, putting Mowat Highlands 35.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 102 eviction filings.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.8% in 2018 against a 3.6% peak.
At $1,670 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Lynn Haven commands. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $103,889, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
