Brentwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 14,462 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.3–4.8

Brentwood is a 5-tract neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL, population 14,462. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, 51% 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. Average gross rent is $970, 34% below the Jacksonville average of $1,465.

Set annual rent against average household income of $32,828 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. On the high side is economic stress at 7.9/10.

Court records carry 3,718 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 19.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 11.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Tallulah-North Shore and Norwood.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
