Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Meadowlawn

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,123, 32% below the St. Petersburg average. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 415 filings here across 18 tracked years. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 0.6 points above the Pinellas County average of 3.8. The worst year on record was 2008, when 3.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
