Old City maps to a single census tract in St. Augustine, FL, population 2,619. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,002 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of St. Augustine commands. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the St. Augustine rate of 33.9%.
The filing record is not thin: 58 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 2.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of St. Augustine, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.
Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Madeira at Saint Augustine and Model Land Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $64,963, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
