Port Tampa maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL and houses 4,843 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 40% against 33.5% citywide, putting Port Tampa 6.3% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 537 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 16.5% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #56 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Amelia and Palma Ceia. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,783, close to the Tampa average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $105,256. 44% 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.
