Gordon Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Plant City, FL, population 3,737. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a Plant City baseline of 33.1%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Court records for this tract carry 122 eviction filings. At $1,632 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Plant City commands.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.0% of renter households. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Plant City, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Terry Park and Beattys Corner score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $62,737.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 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.
