West Park takes in 2 census tracts of Ives Estates, FL and houses 7,704 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 41% 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.
Cost burden runs 67% against 40.7% citywide, putting West Park 26.6% over its own city. Set annual rent against average household income of $71,393 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Its 2 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,999, close to the Ives Estates average.
37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
