Hialeah Gardens Eviction Risk: Moderate

13 census tracts · pop 50,592 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3–5.4

Hialeah Gardens is a 13-tract suburb of Hialeah, FL and houses 50,592 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Hialeah rate of 37.3%.

28% 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. The 13 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 148 across 5 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.6% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,816, 8% above the Hialeah average of $1,689. Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $72,643. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
