The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 6, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 1,189 eviction filings across its 7 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 20.8% of renter households. At $1,629 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Miami commands.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Miami, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $80,451. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
