Palmetto Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,051 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Palmetto commands.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Manatee County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 53% of renters.

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.
