Ortega Terrace spans 2 census tracts of Jacksonville, FL and houses 4,604 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,950, 33% above the Jacksonville average of $1,465. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Court records carry 26 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 12.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 6.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #24 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
