Stuart Eviction Risk: Lower

87% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Martin County average of 44.2%. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.4/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,875, 18% above the Stuart average. The voucher gap is 15.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Against the Martin County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 14% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
