College Town Eviction Risk: Moderate , Tallahassee

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Leon County average of 46.4%. Annualized rent equals 56% of average household income of $24,167, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 56%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

71% 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. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Leon County average of 4.1.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 584 filings here across 13 tracked years. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.1% against 11.3% nationally.
