Anita takes in 2 census tracts of Tampa, FL, population 8,123. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.1. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Filings are well documented here: 300 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.5% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #48 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Kenilworth Grove and Allerton Park. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,607, close to the Tampa average.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 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.
