Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ortega Hills

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 431 filings here across 10 tracked years. It sits 0.7 points below the Duval County average of 3.7.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 22.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
