Sunray Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,981 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

Sunray is a one-tract neighborhood of Frostproof, FL, population 1,981. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.

At $884 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of Frostproof commands. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

Against a Frostproof baseline of 30.4%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Court records for this tract carry 46 eviction filings.

The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 5.6% of renter households. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 7.9% in 2017 against a 5.6% peak. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 3.9/10 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.
