Southeast Seminole Heights maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL and houses 2,509 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 41%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 428 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 21.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #23 by risk, the upper third. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Davis Islands and Vieux Carre.
Average gross rent runs $1,635, close to the Tampa average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
