Laurel Eviction Risk: Lower

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

It sits 0.8 points below the Sarasota County average of 3.8. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $116,597, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,303, close to the Laurel average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
