Analysis

What drives eviction risk in St. Cloud

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 3.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from St. Cloud eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Osceola County average of 5.2 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 82 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 3.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.3% of renter households in 2010.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 48th 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.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
