Arbors at Freedom Plaza Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 10,785 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.2–5.2

Arbors at Freedom Plaza spans 4 census tracts of Sun City Center, FL, population 10,785. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 51%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Sun City Center baseline of 51.0%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

At $1,325 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of Sun City Center commands. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.

The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.2, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 29 across 4 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.2% of renter households. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7/10.

Judgments average 0.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $53,594.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
