Jacksonville Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $29,566 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Disability prevalence runs 51.0% against 31.5% nationally. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

At $1,099 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Jacksonville commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.0% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Duval County average of 3.7.

Court records carry 745 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 16.1% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Jacksonville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
