Pine Lakes is a 2-tract neighborhood of Palm Coast, FL, population 11,461. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10.
Cost burden runs 46% against 36.7% citywide, putting Pine Lakes 9.5% over its own city. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 18.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 4.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Average gross rent is $2,005, 13% above the Palm Coast average of $1,782.
That places it #7 of 6 neighborhoods in Palm Coast. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Palm Harbor and Woodlands.
Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $75,859.
