St. Johns Evictions Hit Seven-Year High | Jacksonville News

St. Johns County’s eviction filings hit a seven-year high last year, fueled by skyrocketing rents and a cost of living that’s outpacing incomes—forcing residents into impossible choices and pushing them out of their homes. After a pandemic dip, filings have climbed five straight years, hitting 718 cases in 2023. Workers in low-wage jobs are especially vulnerable, often sacrificing essentials or relocating farther from work, adding new financial burdens. While still below Duval County’s alarming rates, the affordability crisis is spreading across Northeast Florida, turning housing insecurity into a regional emergency.
