Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Samara Lakes
The voucher gap is 45.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.5/10. 65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the St. Johns County average of 53.0%.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1/10.
At $2,511 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of World Golf Village commands. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 6% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10. It tracks the St. Johns County average of 3.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $109,850.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
