Wellswood is a one-tract neighborhood of Tampa, FL and houses 4,337 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Tampa rate of 33.5%.
30% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
At $1,406 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Tampa commands. Court records for this tract carry 885 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 19.2% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 5.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #29 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Riverside and Riverbend.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $60,256.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
