Yalaha maps to a single census tract in Tampa, FL, population 3,927. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Tampa rate of 33.5%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,159, 27% above the Tampa average of $1,701. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 292 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.2% in 2016 against a 7.7% peak. Among the 70 mapped neighborhoods of Tampa, it ranks #51 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Allerton Park and Al Mar.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $88,007.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
