Rocky Creek maps to a single census tract in Town 'n' Country, FL, population 5,798. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Town 'n' Country baseline of 32.3%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 23% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. At $1,346 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Town 'n' Country commands.
The filing record is not thin: 714 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.2% of renter households.
Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Town 'n' Country, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 5.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Bellingham Oaks and Woodbridge Park score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $53,878.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 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.
