Bartow Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $843, 26% below the Bartow average. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records carry 53 eviction filings across 16 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.0% against 11.3% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 4.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 22% 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 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $68,125, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
