Judgments average 14.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Palmetto Park and The Lively score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $40,000.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 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.
