Avalon at Maclay Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,630 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Avalon at Maclay is a one-tract neighborhood of Tallahassee, FL and houses 2,630 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 64%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Tallahassee baseline of 36.5%, 76% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $2,542 a month, rents sit 97% over what the rest of Tallahassee commands. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 92.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 60 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 8.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2018, is well off that peak.

That places it #12 of 16 neighborhoods in Tallahassee. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastgate and Ox Bottom Crest.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
