· range 3.1–5.8
Ember Ridge takes in 3 census tracts of West Pensacola, FL and houses 10,644 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the West Pensacola rate of 38.4%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
23% 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. Court records carry 356 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 9.8% of renter households.
At $1,262 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of West Pensacola commands. The most recent observed rate, 4.8% in 2010, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $47,514. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
