Ridgegate is a one-tract neighborhood of Ferry Pass, FL, population 3,948. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Ferry Pass baseline of 33.5%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 138 evictions logged in this tract.
At $1,171 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Ferry Pass commands. 9% 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 worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 5.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2010, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Ferry Pass, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Charter Oaks and Tradewinds. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $45,801.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
