Rosemary District is a 2-tract neighborhood of Sarasota, FL, population 9,021. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Sarasota rate of 34.8%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.6 to 5.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Court records for this tract carry 359 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 15.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Average gross rent is $1,572, 7% below the Sarasota average of $1,684. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Sarasota.
For a like-for-like read, Gillespie Park and Avondale score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
