Deerfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Fruitville, FL, population 3,472. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 53%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 76% against 37.9% citywide, putting Deerfield 38.4% over its own city. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,871, close to the Fruitville average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $85,385.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
