Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tallahassee

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

100% 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. Cost burden runs 61% here against 46.4% across Leon County.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $35,097, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Leon County average of 4.1.

Average gross rent is $1,111, 14% 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 5.5/10.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
