West Colonial Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,599 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

West Colonial takes in 2 census tracts of Orlando, FL and houses 7,599 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 45%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Orlando baseline of 34.1%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,047, 40% below the Orlando average of $1,747. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 2,263 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 31.1% of renter households.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 16.7% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
