Winter Haven Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,606, 29% above the Winter Haven average.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. The voucher gap is 20.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10.

It tracks the Polk County average of 3.9 closely. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $64,375.

25% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
