Key West Eviction Risk: Lower

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $2,652 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Key West commands. The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 0.9 points below the Monroe County average of 4.1.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
