Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ember Ridge

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $39,475 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.8/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against the Escambia County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 171 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 9.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.0% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
