Dana Shores maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL and houses 5,035 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 75% 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.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $2,137 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Tampa commands. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Court records for this tract carry 945 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 11.1% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 6.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #54 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rattlesnake and Cairo.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $92,621.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
