Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sweetwater
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Sweetwater, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Miami-Dade County average of 5.3 and above the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.16x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 14 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 1.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.7% of renter households in 2015.
