Riverbend is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL, population 4,542. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,098, 35% below the Tampa average of $1,701. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 455 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 9.4% of renter households.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.4% in 2016 against a 9.4% peak.
That places it #31 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $57,243.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 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.
