Fort Lauderdale Eviction Risk: Moderate

Set annual rent against average income of $59,647 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 113 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

At $2,081 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Fort Lauderdale commands. Filings peaked in 2016 at 14.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 11.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% 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 6.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

60% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Broward County average of 4.3 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
