Ruby Lake maps to a single census tract in Doctor Phillips, FL and houses 4,856 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 30.6% citywide, putting Ruby Lake 31.0% over its own city.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 20.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. For a like-for-like read, Lake Cane Hills and Diamond Cove score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,360, close to the Doctor Phillips average.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
