Merritt Island Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 42.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.3/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 0.9 points below the Brevard County average of 3.9. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 38 filings here across 10 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2017, when 8.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
