Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sweetwater

Against the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.7 points. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $41,411 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,471 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Sweetwater commands. Court records carry 49 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
