Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southwood

Cost burden runs 63% here against 46.4% across Leon County. This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10.

At $1,707 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Tallahassee commands. Set annual rent against average income of $57,991 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The voucher gap is 29.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.9/10.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Leon County average of 4.1 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
