Heritage Manor South is a 2-tract neighborhood of Lehigh Acres, FL, population 8,752. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 53%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Lehigh Acres baseline of 36.2%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $56,140 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.9/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,511, 9% below the Lehigh Acres average of $1,657.
That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Lehigh Acres. The closest comparables inside the same city are Presbyterian Homes and Magnolia Lakes.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 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.
