Boggy Creek maps to a single census tract in Taft, FL, population 5,488. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 42% 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.
Against a Taft baseline of 27.4%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Court records for this tract carry 151 eviction filings. At $1,296 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Taft commands. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 8.3% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.9% in 2016 against a 8.3% peak. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $84,968, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
