Towles Court maps to a single census tract in Sarasota, FL and houses 4,245 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 34.8% citywide, putting Towles Court 29.8% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 241 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,496, 11% below the Sarasota average of $1,684. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Sarasota. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $61,130.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
