Clearwater Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Pinellas County at 53.4%, 68% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $45,200, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,367, 18% below the Clearwater average. Against the Pinellas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
