Betton Oaks spans 3 census tracts of Tallahassee, FL and houses 13,519 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Tallahassee rate of 36.5%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.1. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Tallahassee, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Camelot II Neighborhood and Zion Hill score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,359, close to the Tallahassee average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $68,891.
55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
