The Village of Lake Tarpon maps to a single census tract in Palm Harbor, FL and houses 4,537 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Palm Harbor rate of 41.1%.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Court records for this tract carry 182 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 6.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Palm Harbor. 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. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,835, close to the Palm Harbor average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $89,464.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
