Frostproof Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $939 a month, rents run 35% over what the rest of Frostproof commands. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10.

57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Polk County average of 45.8%. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.2% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Polk County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions over 16 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $42,041.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
