· range 4.3–4.5
Macfarlane Park spans 2 census tracts of Tampa, FL and houses 6,806 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 33.5% citywide, putting Macfarlane Park 13.1% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 30%. 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 rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. At $1,341 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Tampa commands. The filing record is not thin: 276 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.9% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #37 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Paradise and Armenia Heights score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,780.
With little internal variation, 4.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
