Wilhelmina Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,185 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Wilhelmina maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 4,185. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,545 a month, rents sit 50% over what the rest of Tampa commands.

The voucher gap is 28.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.9/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. The filing record is not thin: 173 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 2.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.1% in 2016 against a 2.5% peak.

That places it #56 of 70 neighborhoods in Tampa. For a like-for-like read, Amelia and Sunset Beach score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $144,176. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
