Norwood is a one-tract suburb of Jacksonville, FL and houses 4,099 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
28% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,065, 27% below the Jacksonville average of $1,465. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records for this tract carry 539 eviction filings.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 11.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Jacksonville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
