French City Village is a 5-tract neighborhood of Coral Gables, FL, population 17,344. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $1,358, 43% below the Coral Gables average of $2,373.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10.
The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 33.1% citywide, putting French City Village 6.0% over its own city.
Court records carry 90 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 5.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Coral Gables, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chinese Village and French Normandy Village. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $68,893.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
