The District Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,300 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–3.8

The District is a 2-tract neighborhood of Brandon, FL and houses 8,300 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 44% against 33.4% citywide, putting The District 10.3% over its own city. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

Filings are well documented here: 171 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 15.8% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 5.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $1,658 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Brandon commands. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Brandon, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third.

At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Abbey Trace and Winthrop score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 19% 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.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
