This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Court records for this tract carry 1,323 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 5.2% of renter households.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2017, is well off that peak.
At $1,555 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of St. Petersburg commands. That places it #11 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Ponce de Leon and Highland Oaks. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $63,992.
