Rockledge Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,209, 34% below the Rockledge average.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The filing record is not thin: 81 evictions over 10 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
