Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Disston Heights
27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 154 evictions over 18 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2000 at 6.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Petersburg. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
