The filing record is not thin: 415 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 5.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #44 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,616, close to the Tampa average.
48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 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.
