Coquina Key is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Petersburg, FL, population 3,984. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 23% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly below the St. Petersburg rate of 33.9%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 400 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 6.9% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 42 mapped neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Bay Breeze Cove and Euclid Heights score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,634, close to the St. Petersburg average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $97,418.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
