Bayside Lakes maps to a single census tract in Palm Bay, FL, population 7,072. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 28%. 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 1.1/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,863, 16% above the Palm Bay average of $1,601.
The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly above the Palm Bay rate of 37.6%. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Palm Bay, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Holiday Park and Twin Lakes.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
