Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tallahassee

roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Leon County average of 46.4%. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Set annual rent against average income of $35,464 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Leon County average of 4.1. Average gross rent is $1,018, 21% below the Tallahassee average. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
