Port Tampa Communities Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,309 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Port Tampa Communities is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL and houses 2,309 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.

At $2,657 a month, rents sit 56% over what the rest of Tampa commands. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The voucher gap is 34.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.4/10.

Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #56 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Amelia and Palma Ceia. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $117,880.

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.
