Lakewood Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.1/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 45% here against 53.5% across Manatee County. It sits 1.1 points below the Manatee County average of 4.1.

The filing record is not thin: 21 evictions over 4 years of observation. Average gross rent is $2,024, 12% below the Lakewood Ranch average.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 11.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $120,706.
