Bartlett Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,608 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Bartlett Park is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Petersburg, FL and houses 3,608 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 47%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the St. Petersburg rate of 33.9%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $51,218 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 2,284 evictions logged in this tract.

Average gross rent is $1,423, 14% below the St. Petersburg average of $1,663. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 21.2% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 14.8% in 2017 against a 21.2% peak. Among the 42 mapped neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Thirteenth Street Heights and Palmetto Park score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
