Mill Creek North is a 5-tract neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL and houses 30,080 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 25% 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.
Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 4.8. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 4,167 across 5 observed tracts. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 18.6% of renter households. At $1,313 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Jacksonville commands.
The most recent observed rate, 7.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #12 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Royal Lakes and Garden City.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 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.
