Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Disston Heights

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. At $2,114 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of St. Petersburg commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 103 evictions over 18 years of observation. Against the Pinellas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 10.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 9% 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 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

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.
