Mills is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL, population 1,236. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 33.5% citywide, putting Mills 15.7% over its own city.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $1,173, 31% below the Tampa average of $1,701. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,181 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 805 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 32.6% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 24.5% in 2016 against a 32.6% peak.
That places it #1 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
