1 census tracts · pop 3,195 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Punta Gorda Isles is a one-tract neighborhood of Punta Gorda, FL and houses 3,195 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 37.1% citywide, putting Punta Gorda Isles 14.5% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,851 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Punta Gorda commands. The voucher gap is 26.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 1.0% of renter households. Judgments average 0.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $106,290.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
