Ocala Waterway Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,364 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Ocala Waterway maps to a single census tract in Liberty Triangle, FL and houses 7,364 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Liberty Triangle baseline of 31.4%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 64.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. At $2,182 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of Liberty Triangle commands.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $100,359.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
