Florida Center Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 15,580 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4–5.4

Florida Center takes in 3 census tracts of Orlando, FL, population 15,580. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Orlando rate of 34.1%.

32% 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. This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Court records for this tract carry 1,113 eviction filings.

Average gross rent is $1,467, 16% below the Orlando average of $1,747. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 10.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #16 of 43 neighborhoods in Orlando. The closest comparables inside the same city are Monterey and Countryside.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
