Oakridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL and houses 1,768 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 78% against 33.5% citywide, putting Oakridge 44.5% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $928, 45% below the Tampa average of $1,701. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Set annual rent against average household income of $24,596 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
This is a renter market: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 320 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 11.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.
Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
