Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buena Vista

The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 6.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Seminole, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Pinellas County average of 4.8 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 60 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 2.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.9% of renter households in 2010.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.47x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
