Drew Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,041 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Drew Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL and houses 1,041 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.

Average gross rent is $895, 47% below the Tampa average of $1,701. The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. 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.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 545 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 25.0% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 11.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $34,167.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
