Ox Bottom Crest spans 2 census tracts of Tallahassee, FL and houses 9,247 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 40.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,862, 44% above the Tallahassee average of $1,293. The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running hot is supply constraint at 9/10. Cost burden runs 45% against 36.5% citywide, putting Ox Bottom Crest 8.6% over its own city.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 38 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 2.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #12 of 16 neighborhoods in Tallahassee. At 13% 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 Avalon at Maclay.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
