Sienna Bay is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Petersburg, FL and houses 5,034 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Cost burden runs 44% against 33.9% citywide, putting Sienna Bay 9.9% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $2,064, 24% above the St. Petersburg average of $1,663. Court records for this tract carry 950 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 14.4% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2017, is well off that 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 Venetian Isles and Bay Breeze Cove. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $94,167.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
