Great Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Odessa, FL, population 9,508. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 176 evictions logged in this tract.
roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little above the Odessa rate of 22.4%. Average gross rent is $1,676, 12% below the Odessa average of $1,909.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 5.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.4% in 2012 against a 5.1% peak. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
