Emerald Chase maps to a single census tract in Tallahassee, FL, population 1,740. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Tallahassee rate of 36.5%.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 31.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,736, 34% above the Tallahassee average of $1,293.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 12.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Tallahassee, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. At 28% 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
