Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Opa-locka
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. It sits 2.5 points above the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6. Adults with no health insurance runs 31.4% against 11.3% nationally.
Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,058, 22% below the Opa-locka average. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 90 evictions over 2 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 7.5% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Miami. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
