South Poinsettia maps to a single census tract in Southgate, FL, population 3,388. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Southgate baseline of 41.8%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Court records for this tract carry 83 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 4.9% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Average gross rent runs $1,633, close to the Southgate average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $86,920.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
