Winter Haven Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

Cost burden runs 38% here against 45.8% across Polk County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 233 filings here across 17 tracked years.

At $1,121 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Winter Haven commands. The worst year on record was 2012, when 10.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 15% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
