Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pickwood

Cost burden runs about three-quarters here against 46.8% across Lee County. Set annual rent against average income of $15,313 and the ratio lands at 67%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 85%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 35.8% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Average gross rent is $851, 22% below the Auburn average. Against the Lee County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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.
