Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Panama City
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 2.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Panama City, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Bay County average of 5.0 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 270 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 9.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.5% of renter households in 2017.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 75th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
