Stock Island maps to a single census tract in Key West, FL and houses 6,647 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Key West baseline of 36.4%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,961, 12% below the Key West average of $2,220. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Key West, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Beachside and New Town. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $79,947.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
