Winter Haven Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,633 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Winter Haven commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Polk County at 45.8%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The voucher gap is 22.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 175 eviction filings across 17 observed years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.5% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Polk County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2013, when 8.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 18% 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.

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