Roser Park is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Petersburg, FL, population 2,937. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 33.9% citywide, putting Roser Park 17.0% over its own city.
This is a renter market: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 26% 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.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $55,972 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
At $1,511 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of St. Petersburg commands. Among the 42 mapped neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, it ranks #14 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Magnolia Heights and Holiday Park.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 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.
