Amanda is a 2-tract neighborhood of Ruskin, FL, population 14,738. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Ruskin baseline of 32.9%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 4.9. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Filings are well documented here: 381 across 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.3% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,561, 10% above the Ruskin average of $1,419. Judgments average 2.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 24% 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. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $68,796.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
