Loretto takes in 3 census tracts of Jacksonville, FL, population 12,657. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 4.2. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,266 across 3 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 22.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.9% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #19 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville. For a like-for-like read, Timberview and Avondale score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,471, close to the Jacksonville average.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $60,860. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
