Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gator Field
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,149, 22% below the Hilton Head Island average.
Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 45 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2011 at 6.4% of renter households.
In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
