Palmetto Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 64% against 33.9% citywide, putting Palmetto Park 30.1% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 1,349 evictions logged in this tract.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 23.2% of renter households.

On the high side is economic stress at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 13.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Bartlett Park and Thirteenth Street Heights. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
