Winter Haven Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.4% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 441 evictions over 17 years of observation.

Cost burden runs 50% here against 45.8% across Polk County. Filings peaked in 2000 at 11.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Polk County average of 3.9 closely.

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