What drives eviction risk in Opa-locka
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. It sits 2.8 points above the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6. Adults with no health insurance runs 34.2% against 11.3% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 9/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,195 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Opa-locka commands. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter.
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.
