New Town maps to a single census tract in Key West, FL, population 4,741. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Key West baseline of 36.4%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,648, 26% below the Key West average of $2,220. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.
That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Key West. The closest comparables inside the same city are Beachside and Casa Marina.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $78,771.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
