River Pines takes in 2 census tracts of Port Salerno, FL, population 10,898. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 23% against 28.6% citywide, putting River Pines 5.3% under its own city. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Filings are well documented here: 65 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.1% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,593, 11% above the Port Salerno average of $1,440. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.
At 9% 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.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $72,060.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
