Emerald Fields takes in 4 census tracts of Hudson, FL and houses 11,665 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 27% 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.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Against a Hudson baseline of 34.1%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 4.9. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records carry 992 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $1,191, 14% above the Hudson average of $1,044. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 25.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2012, is well off that peak.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $47,679.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 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.
