37% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.1% in 2018 against a 6.7% peak. That places it #12 of 16 neighborhoods in Tallahassee.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastgate and Ox Bottom Crest. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
