Alta Vista Tracts Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,098 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Alta Vista Tracts is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL, population 4,098. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The filing record is not thin: 343 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 6.6% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 6.6% in 2016 against a 6.6% peak. That places it #39 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.

For a like-for-like read, Edwards and Macfarlane Park 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.

Average gross rent runs $1,739, close to the Tampa average. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 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.
