Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Downtown Miami
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 41.6% against 11.3% nationally.
The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
At $1,310 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Miami commands. Against the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Miami. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
