Crescent Heights maps to a single census tract in St. Petersburg, FL and houses 2,322 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a St. Petersburg baseline of 33.9%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,316, 21% below the St. Petersburg average of $1,663. The filing record is not thin: 137 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #32 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg.
At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bay Breeze Cove and Euclid Heights.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
