Golden Gate takes in 4 census tracts of Port Salerno, FL, population 13,616. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 46% 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.
Against a Port Salerno baseline of 28.6%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.1 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records carry 92 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 6.1% of renter households. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Average gross rent runs $1,517, close to the Port Salerno average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $65,044. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
