Cherokee Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Sarasota, FL and houses 2,322 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 61%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Sarasota baseline of 34.8%, 85% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,052, 22% above the Sarasota average of $1,684. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 3.4% of renter households. The voucher gap is 11.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Sarasota.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hudson Bayou and Pineapple Corner. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $98,182.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
