Crescent Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Petersburg, FL and houses 2,033 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a St. Petersburg baseline of 33.9%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 163 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 4.3% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
At $1,813 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of St. Petersburg commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.8% in 2017 against a 4.3% peak. Among the 42 mapped neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Bay Breeze Cove and Euclid Heights. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 54% 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.
