Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Little Haiti

Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income of $28,859, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

81% 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. Average gross rent is $1,201, 32% below the Miami average. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.2% against 11.3% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

Court records carry 402 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 18.5% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 15.0% of renter households face a filing.
