Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Robinswood

93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $48,160, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 50.9% across Alachua County. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against the Alachua County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Court records carry 436 eviction filings across 8 observed years. At $1,490 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Gainesville commands.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when 4.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
