Dills maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL and houses 855 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 33.5% citywide, putting Dills 18.5% over its own city.
At $655 a month, rents sit 61% under what the rest of Tampa commands. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 60%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
This is a renter market: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 943 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 12.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.5% in 2016 against a 12.3% peak.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
