Huntington Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 15,136 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3–3.4

Huntington takes in 3 census tracts of Ocala, FL and houses 15,136 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly below the Ocala rate of 35.8%.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. At $1,119 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Ocala commands.

Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Ocala, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third.

At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Cimarron and Camp Roosevelt score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $85,493, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 3 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
