Timber Springs Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 23,918 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Timber Springs takes in 3 census tracts of Alafaya, FL and houses 23,918 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Alafaya rate of 30.6%. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. The voucher gap is 11.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,181, 9% above the Alafaya average of $1,999. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Stoneybrook East and Woodland Lakes.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $111,070.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
