Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakeland

At $913 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Lakeland commands. Disability prevalence runs 48.4% against 31.5% nationally.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $33,065, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.0% against 11.3% nationally.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
