Morningside Park spans 2 census tracts of Oak Ridge, FL and houses 12,061 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Oak Ridge baseline of 35.3%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.1 to 7.1, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 20% 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.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 289 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 6.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 4.2% in 2016 against a 6.8% peak. The closest comparables inside the same city are Park Central and Americana. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,468, close to the Oak Ridge average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $57,712.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
