Against Lee County at 46.8%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Lee County average of 3.9.

Food insecurity runs 25.5% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
