Old Spanish is a one-tract neighborhood of Wesley Chapel, FL and houses 4,059 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 97 evictions logged in this tract. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 29.5% of renter households.
The voucher gap is 10.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2012, is well off that peak.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,186, close to the Wesley Chapel average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $100,519.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
