Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ember Ridge

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.8/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $42,000 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 1.6 points above the Escambia County average of 4.2.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 154 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 8.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.
