9% 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 worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 10.5% of renter households.
At $1,618 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Jacksonville commands. The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.

53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
