Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Springfield

What moves this score most is housing court bias 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 Springfield, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above 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 White and Black and ranks around the 73rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 918 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 11.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.6% of renter households in 2018.

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