Tidewater is a one-tract neighborhood of Florida Gulf Coast University, FL, population 3,793. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 55%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Set annual rent against average household income of $25,395 and the ratio lands at 64%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against a Florida Gulf Coast University baseline of 51.0%, 68% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 80%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 9.7/10. Average gross rent runs $1,350, close to the Florida Gulf Coast University average.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
