Rattlesnake is a 2-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL and houses 4,851 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $2,060, 21% above the Tampa average of $1,701. Court records for this tract carry 354 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 23.0% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #54 by risk, the lower third.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
