Old Spanish is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL, population 7,805. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, 15% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
At $2,151 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Tampa commands. 15% 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.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #56 by risk, the lower third.
At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $122,397.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
