Lakeland Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $2,236, 60% above the Lakeland average. The voucher gap is 67.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Against the Polk County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 61 filings here across 17 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2007, when 1.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
