Barrington Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 10,537 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.6–4.1

Barrington Hills spans 3 census tracts of Clearwater, FL and houses 10,537 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 487 across 2 observed tracts.

At $1,409 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Clearwater commands. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 15.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.9% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #10 of 14 neighborhoods in Clearwater. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 39% of renter households.

Only 24% 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. For a like-for-like read, Victoria Palms and Bayside Arbors score within a fraction of it.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $64,315.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
