Vedado Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,331 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Vedado maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 2,331. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 45%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Annualized rent equals 54% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 33.5% citywide, putting Vedado 31.3% over its own city.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,310, 23% below the Tampa average of $1,701.

The filing record is not thin: 470 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 16.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 10.8% in 2016 against a 16.5% peak. That places it #1 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Drew Park and Oakridge.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
