North Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 6,966 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 3–5.8

North Hill takes in 3 census tracts of Pensacola, FL, population 6,966. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 30.7% citywide, putting North Hill 17.8% over its own city.

Average gross rent is $773, 42% below the Pensacola average of $1,322. 30% 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 poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8.4/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Court records carry 285 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 11.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2010, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in Pensacola.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
