· range 4.4–4.4
Paradise maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 1,873. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $70,768 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Average gross rent is $1,998, 17% above the Tampa average of $1,701.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #37 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Macfarlane Park and Armenia Heights score within a fraction of it. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
