Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mulberry

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. The voucher gap is 31.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

It sits 0.9 points below the Polk County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 372 evictions over 17 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 6.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
