Scott Mill Bluff is a one-tract neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL and houses 4,419 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 52%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
87% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Jacksonville rate of 32.8%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
Court records for this tract carry 33 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 2.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.9% in 2016 against a 2.5% peak.
Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Jacksonville, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, The Wilderness and Ortega Terrace score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,552, close to the Jacksonville average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
