· range 4.4–5.8
Cedar Hammock takes in 9 census tracts of South Bradenton, FL and houses 35,540 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a South Bradenton baseline of 32.7%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.4 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 2,449 eviction filings across its 9 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 23.9% of renter households. At $1,365 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of South Bradenton commands.
Judgments average 4.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
