Sarasota Eviction Risk: Moderate

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Sarasota County average of 50.3%. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $2,150 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Sarasota commands. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 116 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 13.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 7.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Sarasota County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $91,972.

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.
