Childs Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 70% against 33.9% citywide, putting Childs Park 35.8% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3.5 to 4.9. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Court records carry 2,564 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 18.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 9.2% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 42 mapped neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, it ranks #7 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Historic Kenwood and Fossil Park. Average gross rent runs $1,680, close to the St. Petersburg average. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
