Sarasota Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,378, 18% below the Sarasota average. The filing record is not thin: 132 evictions over 5 years of observation. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 0.8 points above the Sarasota County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2002 at 9.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $56,522. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
