Magnolia Springs is a 2-tract neighborhood of Green Cove Springs, FL, population 9,730. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a Green Cove Springs baseline of 22.5%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

At $1,478 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Green Cove Springs commands. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.9. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $69,087.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
