Edwards maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 2,235. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 33.5% citywide, putting Edwards 9.8% under its own city. At $1,213 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Tampa commands. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 134 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 5.3% of renter households.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.1% in 2016 against a 5.3% peak.
Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #39 by risk, the middle third. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Alta Vista Tracts and Macfarlane Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 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.
