Vieux Carre takes in 2 census tracts of Tampa, FL, population 10,815. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,255, 26% below the Tampa average of $1,701. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 818 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 29.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #23 by risk, the upper third.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $52,095.
With little internal variation, 5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
