Avondale is a 6-tract neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL, population 21,984. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Jacksonville rate of 32.8%. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.8, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,173, 20% below the Jacksonville average of $1,465.
Court records carry 2,323 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 19.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #19 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
