Engelwood Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,656 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.2–5.3

Engelwood Park spans 2 census tracts of Azalea Park, FL and houses 7,656 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 34.9% citywide, putting Engelwood Park 23.4% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. 15% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 5.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Court records carry 999 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 21.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,505, close to the Azalea Park average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $62,233.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 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.
