Venetian Isles Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 12,237 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Venetian Isles takes in 3 census tracts of St. Petersburg, FL, population 12,237. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 33.9% citywide, putting Venetian Isles 12.2% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Court records carry 684 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 10.4% of renter households.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 42 mapped neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third.

At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $1,717, close to the St. Petersburg average.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
