Southern Pines maps to a single census tract in Frostproof, FL, population 2,558. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 135 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 7.6% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7/10.
At $765 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Frostproof commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2017, is well off that peak.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
