Analysis

What drives eviction risk in La Joya

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $22,594, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against Marion County at 45.1%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10.

At $903 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Ocala commands. 78% 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.

It sits 1.9 points above the Marion County average of 4.0. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.4% against 11.3% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 45.5% against 31.5% nationally. Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
