Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Palm City

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 74% above the Palm City average. The voucher gap is 115.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 1/10. The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions over 2 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points below the Martin County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2017 at 1.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
