Lucaya Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,713 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lucaya is a one-tract neighborhood of Iona, FL and houses 2,713 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 32% against 46.0% citywide, putting Lucaya 14.5% under its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,800, close to the Iona average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $98,188.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
