Heritage Palms Golf & Country Club Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,558 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Heritage Palms Golf & Country Club maps to a single census tract in Fort Myers, FL and houses 3,558 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 12% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well under the Fort Myers rate of 36.9%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,098, 33% above the Fort Myers average of $1,580. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #10 of 16 neighborhoods in Fort Myers.

Only 13% 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. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
