Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Little Havana
Average gross rent is $1,077, 39% below the Miami average. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.1/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $32,917 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 74% 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.
Against Miami-Dade County at 57.9%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. 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.
The filing record is not thin: 121 evictions over 2 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2015, when 6.2% of renter households were served.
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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
