The Racquet Club Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 4,188 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 15.3% of renter households.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 8.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,209, 6% below the Tallahassee average of $1,293.

That places it #3 of 16 neighborhoods in Tallahassee.

With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
