Summer Lakes maps to a single census tract in Pensacola, FL and houses 5,819 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Against a Pensacola baseline of 30.7%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 101 eviction filings. 10% 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.
At $1,165 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Pensacola commands. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 5.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2010, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 8 neighborhoods in Pensacola. For a like-for-like read, Seville and Cordova Place score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
