Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 194 filings here across 18 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Pinellas County average of 3.8.

Average gross rent is $1,484, 11% below the St. Petersburg average. Filings peaked in 2002 at 13.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
