Amelia Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,042 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Amelia is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL, population 3,042. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.

At $2,501 a month, rents sit 47% over what the rest of Tampa commands. 26% 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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 26.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.6/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #56 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Sunset Beach and Wilhelmina. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $126,667. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
