Ambergate Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 11,002 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Ambergate is a 2-tract neighborhood of Apopka, FL and houses 11,002 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 48%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Apopka rate of 43.0%. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,191, 40% below the Apopka average of $1,969. The poverty rate is 36%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is economic stress at 8.9/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Court records carry 725 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 7.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.4% in 2016 against a 7.9% peak.

That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Apopka. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chalet North and Apopka. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
