Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Haines City

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10.

The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Polk County average of 45.8%. Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The filing record is not thin: 320 evictions over 17 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Polk County average of 3.9.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 4.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
