North Ruskin takes in 2 census tracts of Apollo Beach, FL and houses 15,053 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 31.9% citywide, putting North Ruskin 7.0% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 194 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.8% of renter households.
At $2,141 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Apollo Beach commands. Judgments average 2.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Apollo Key Village and Andalucia score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $111,834.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
