Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Lauderdale

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. At $978 a month, rents run 47% under what the rest of Fort Lauderdale commands. The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. 67% 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, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.6% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Broward County average of 4.3.

Cost burden runs 65% here against 59.1% across Broward County. The filing record is not thin: 702 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 26.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 21.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
