West View Eviction Risk: Lower

Against a Tampa baseline of 33.5%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $2,201 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of Tampa commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 36 eviction filings. The voucher gap is 11.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.0% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. That places it #56 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa.

Judgments average 0.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 19% 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 Amelia and Sunset Beach.

Against average income of $170,154, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
