Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mowat Highlands

The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 7.3/10. 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 Lynn Haven, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

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

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 25th 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 102 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 2.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.6% of renter households in 2015.

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