College Town Eviction Risk: Elevated , Tallahassee

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Tallahassee eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Leon County average of 5.0 and above the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is racially mixed and ranks around the 43rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 880 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 5.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.1% of renter households in 2006.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
