Wesmere takes in 2 census tracts of Ocoee, FL and houses 8,932 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 34.8% citywide, putting Wesmere 21.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 607 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.4% of renter households.
Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. Judgments average 3.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $2,017, close to the Ocoee average. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
