Ocala Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $38,778, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

Against the Marion County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,169 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Ocala commands. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
