Getting to know Sanibel
Sanibel is a barrier-island city reached by the Sanibel Causeway, known for the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge and its shell beaches. Ian washed out sections of the causeway in 2022. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 6,420 residents in Sanibel. The median year of construction is about 1983, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Sanibel is on a barrier island exposed to Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain. Recent hurricanes have pushed water into ground floors and low streets.
What the Census says about Sanibel housing
Sanibel is about 21 miles southwest of Fort Myers. About 35% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so shared walls and ceilings let moisture travel between units. Roughly 53% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; homes closed up with the AC off or set high are a common mold source. The median age in Sanibel is about 69 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim. Median year built: 1983. That matters because older wall assemblies and past storm leaks give moisture more places to hide.
