Davis Islands is a one-tract suburb of Tampa, FL, population 1,914. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 33.5% citywide, putting Davis Islands 27.9% over its own city.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $46,058 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,266, 26% below the Tampa average of $1,701. The filing record is not thin: 197 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.5% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #23 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
