Watergrass is a one-tract neighborhood of Pasadena Hills, FL, population 9,941. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 24.4% citywide, putting Watergrass 34.7% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $2,640, 126% above the Pasadena Hills average of $1,167. The voucher gap is 33.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.4/10.
Court records for this tract carry 138 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 129.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.8% in 2012, is well off that peak.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $115,302.
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.
