Magnolia Lakes is a 2-tract neighborhood of Lehigh Acres, FL, population 13,094. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 36.2% citywide, putting Magnolia Lakes 21.7% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,427, 14% below the Lehigh Acres average of $1,657. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Lehigh Acres, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Heritage Manor South and Presbyterian Homes score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $63,093.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
