Catalina is a 2-tract neighborhood of Orlando, FL, population 13,851. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Orlando baseline of 34.1%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $45,622 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. At $1,283 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Orlando commands. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 2,687 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 20.1% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 10.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #2 of 43 neighborhoods in Orlando.
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.
