Trapnell is a one-tract neighborhood of Plant City, FL, population 5,566. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Cost burden runs 27% against 33.1% citywide, putting Trapnell 6.4% under its own city.
At $1,123 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Plant City commands. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The filing record is not thin: 166 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.7% in 2016 against a 6.1% peak. That places it #1 of 11 neighborhoods in Plant City.
At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Alabama and Midway score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
