Boardwalk Caper spans 3 census tracts of Fort Myers Beach, FL, population 4,590. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 69% against 33.4% citywide, putting Boardwalk Caper 35.3% over its own city. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.8, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. At $1,471 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Fort Myers Beach commands.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Only 14% 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 24% of average household income of $72,603.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
