Azalea Terrace Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 15,973 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3–4.8

Azalea Terrace is a 5-tract quarter of Jacksonville, FL, population 15,973. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Jacksonville rate of 32.8%.

The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The 5 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.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

Court records for this tract carry 405 eviction filings. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 13.9% of renter households.

At $1,340 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Jacksonville commands. The most recent observed rate, 6.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #10 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ortega Forest and Belle Rive. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $57,660.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
