Kirkwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Gonzalez, FL, population 5,931. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Gonzalez rate of 32.5%. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.
At $865 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Gonzalez commands. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records for this tract carry 32 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2010, is well off that peak.
Only 15% 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. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 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.
