Clarkes maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 3,287. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
25% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,216, 30% above the Tampa average of $1,701.
Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 156 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The voucher gap is 12.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 3.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #31 by risk, the middle third.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
