Creek Station Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,138 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Creek Station is a one-tract neighborhood of Pensacola, FL and houses 5,138 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Pensacola baseline of 30.7%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 22% 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. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 306 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 6.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 4.7% in 2010 against a 6.5% peak. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Pensacola, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Seville and Cordova Place.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,371, close to the Pensacola average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $76,213.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
