Duck Key Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 18.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Monroe County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $2,697 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Duck Key commands.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 23% 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 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $117,841.

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.
