Palmetto Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 29 eviction filings across 4 observed years. At $1,176 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Palmetto commands.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 23.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 56% of renters. It tracks the Manatee County average of 4.1 closely.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $55,729.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
