Cocoa Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $48,765 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $1,473 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Cocoa commands. It sits 0.8 points above the Brevard County average of 3.9. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
