Saddlebrooke maps to a single census tract in West Melbourne, FL and houses 5,773 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the West Melbourne rate of 28.0%.
The voucher gap is 28.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.9/10.
Court records for this tract carry 63 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. 10% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $2,105, 14% above the West Melbourne average of $1,845. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2018, is well off that peak.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Greenwood Village and Coventry. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $81,265.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
