Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Pinellas County average of 53.4%.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 728 evictions over 18 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 21.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 11.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
