The Dwellings is a one-tract neighborhood of Tallahassee, FL, population 3,096. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 40% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Tallahassee rate of 36.5%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 773 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 4.7% of renter households.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.1% in 2018 against a 4.7% peak. That places it #1 of 16 neighborhoods in Tallahassee.
For a like-for-like read, The Racquet Club and Los Robles score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
