Opa-locka Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $53,864, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against Miami-Dade County at 57.9%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 42 filings here across 2 tracked years. At $1,501 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Opa-locka commands.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
