Westlake Village maps to a single census tract in Palm Harbor, FL and houses 6,355 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 54%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Palm Harbor baseline of 41.1%, 81% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 184 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 8.3% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,617, 10% below the Palm Harbor average of $1,806.
The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Palm Harbor, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Only 11% 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, Gleneagles and Highland Lakes score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 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.
