Jacaranda is a 7-tract neighborhood of Plantation, FL, population 35,342. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Plantation baseline of 37.4%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 930 across 5 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 13.7% of renter households. At $2,078 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Plantation commands. Judgments average 2.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $89,976. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
