Shorewalk Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 6,709 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.4–4

Shorewalk is a 2-tract neighborhood of Panama City Beach, FL and houses 6,709 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Panama City Beach rate of 33.7%.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 164 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 8.0% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 5.7% in 2018 against a 8.0% peak. At $1,683 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Panama City Beach commands. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $81,788. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
