Mora Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,377 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Mora is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL, population 5,377. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Set annual rent against average household income of $48,365 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 621 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 11.8% of renter households.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.0% in 2016 against a 11.8% peak. At $1,565 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Tampa commands.

That places it #1 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.

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.
