Skylake Eviction Risk: Moderate

11 census tracts · pop 40,904 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 3.5–6

Skylake takes in 11 census tracts of Aventura, FL, population 40,904. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs around two-thirds against 43.3% citywide, putting Skylake 21.4% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.2/10.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The 11 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 6, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. At $1,979 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Aventura commands.

Filings are well documented here: 263 across 8 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 22.5% of renter households.

Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Aventura, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
