Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Miami Gardens

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $47,350, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. At $1,397 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Miami Gardens commands.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

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.
