West Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,792 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

West Park maps to a single census tract in Egypt Lake-Leto, FL and houses 5,792 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Egypt Lake-Leto rate of 37.3%.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. 26% 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.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 376 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 6.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.9% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #4 of 6 neighborhoods in Egypt Lake-Leto. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,437, close to the Egypt Lake-Leto average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $56,860. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
