Altamira Heights maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 3,226. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $1,006, 41% below the Tampa average of $1,701.
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. Cost burden runs 46% against 33.5% citywide, putting Altamira Heights 12.3% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 482 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 13.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
