Winthrop Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 11,574 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.9–4.7

Winthrop spans 2 census tracts of Brandon, FL and houses 11,574 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Brandon baseline of 33.4%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.

Filings are well documented here: 1,684 across 2 observed tracts. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 47.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 6.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,669, 6% below the Brandon average of $1,784.

Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Brandon, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brentwood Hills and Alexandria Place.
