Branchton maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 5,218. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.

The filing record is not thin: 413 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 100.6% of renter households.
Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #44 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Palma Ceia Pines and Seminole Heights of North Tampa. Average gross rent runs $1,707, close to the Tampa average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $89,333.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 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.
