The Lakes of Estero is a one-tract neighborhood of Estero, FL and houses 2,358 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,188, 14% above the Estero average of $1,920.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 35% of renter households. That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Estero.
Only 11% 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. For a like-for-like read, Pelican Sound Golf & River Club and Grandezza score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $113,750.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
