Windward Cove is a one-tract neighborhood of Wellington, FL, population 1,192. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
The voucher gap is 23.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 22 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 1.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.3% in 2015 against a 1.1% peak. That places it #3 of 8 neighborhoods in Wellington.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Lakefield West and Lakeview North score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $164,545, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $2,700, close to the Wellington average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
