Palma Ceia maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 3,777. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records for this tract carry 139 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $1,816 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Tampa commands.
That places it #56 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa. For a like-for-like read, Amelia and Sunset Beach score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
