Winter Haven Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 910 eviction filings across 17 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.0% against 11.3% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points above the Polk County average of 3.9. The worst year on record was 2003, when 14.6% of renter households were served.

Average gross rent is $1,145, 8% below the Winter Haven average. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
