Design District Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 8,327 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5–6
Design District takes in 2 census tracts of Miami, FL and houses 8,327 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Miami rate of 37.0%.
32% 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. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5 to 6, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
Court records carry 402 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 12.7% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
That places it #3 of 10 neighborhoods in Miami. Judgments average 5.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Little Havana and Little Haiti.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
