Hudson Bayou Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,697 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Hudson Bayou is a one-tract neighborhood of Sarasota, FL, population 1,697. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. about a quarter of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Sarasota rate of 34.8%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,369, 19% below the Sarasota average of $1,684. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 2.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.9% in 2015 against a 2.5% peak.

That places it #6 of 7 neighborhoods in Sarasota. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Pineapple Corner and Cherokee Park score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 17% 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.

One tract means one number: 3.6/10 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.
