Belle Rive spans 2 census tracts of Jacksonville, FL, population 8,424. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $46,068 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.8, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 2,756 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,278, 13% below the Jacksonville average of $1,465.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 15.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 9.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #10 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 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.
