Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clearwater

What moves this score most is economic stress at 9.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Clearwater eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Pinellas County average of 4.8 and in line with the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.11x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 835 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 10.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.6% of renter households in 2010.

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