Stoneybrook at Gateway Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 12,349 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3–5.4

Stoneybrook at Gateway is a 3-tract neighborhood of Fort Myers, FL and houses 12,349 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Against a Fort Myers baseline of 36.9%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

At $1,307 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Fort Myers commands. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Myers, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Seminole Park Historic District and Portofino Cove score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
