Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Country Lakes

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 8.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Fort Myers eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Lee County average of 4.4 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 95th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
