Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sweetwater
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Set annual rent against average income of $51,765 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 2.2 points above the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 66% 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. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.
Cost burden runs 65% here against 57.9% across Miami-Dade County. The filing record is not thin: 46 evictions over 2 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 2.4% of renter households.
In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
