Wynwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

9 census tracts · pop 39,119 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 3.5–6

Wynwood is a 9-tract neighborhood of Miami, FL, population 39,119. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Miami rate of 37.0%.

Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $58,383 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 6, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. 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 two streets over. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 929 across 7 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 19.7% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 5.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Miami, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
