Midway is a one-tract neighborhood of Plant City, FL, population 4,023. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Plant City baseline of 33.1%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,153, 18% below the Plant City average of $1,409. The filing record is not thin: 231 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 13.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.5% in 2016 against a 13.8% peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Plant City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Only 17% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
