Hidden Creek takes in 4 census tracts of Pinellas Park, FL, population 20,065. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Pinellas Park baseline of 35.9%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.5 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.6/10.
Court records carry 3,083 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 16.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.6% in 2017, is well off that peak.
At $1,733 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Pinellas Park commands. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Pinellas Park, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $66,068. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
