Dover Shores Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,856 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Dover Shores maps to a single census tract in Orlando, FL and houses 3,856 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 41% against 34.1% citywide, putting Dover Shores 7.0% over its own city. Court records for this tract carry 164 eviction filings.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 3.6% of renter households. Among the 43 mapped neighborhoods of Orlando, it ranks #24 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $1,774, close to the Orlando average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $83,049.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
