Richmond Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,766 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Richmond Heights maps to a single census tract in Orlando, FL, population 3,766. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Orlando rate of 34.1%. Set annual rent against average household income of $46,653 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. At $1,403 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Orlando commands. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records for this tract carry 262 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.6% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

That places it #2 of 43 neighborhoods in Orlando. Judgments average 4.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Callahan and Windhover.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
