Alafia Cove is a one-tract neighborhood of Riverview, FL, population 4,175. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 127 eviction filings.
Average gross rent is $1,691, 16% below the Riverview average of $2,002. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. 29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally below the Riverview rate of 32.7%.
The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 8.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Riverview, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
Only 22% 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, Colonial Hills and Aberdeen Creek score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $98,438.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
