Cortez Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $65,536, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 43% here against 53.5% across Manatee County.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 34 filings here across 4 tracked years.

The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Filings peaked in 2003 at 2.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Cortez rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Manatee County average of 4.1 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
