Stuart Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $43,470, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against Martin County at 44.2%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Martin County average of 3.8.

This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 108 filings here across 2 tracked years. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.3% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 4.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing.

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.
