Española Way spans 10 census tracts of Miami Beach, FL, population 21,589. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Miami Beach rate of 35.7%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. 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.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.5 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Annualized rent equals 35% 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 eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.6/10. Court records carry 488 eviction filings across its 8 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $2,043, 12% above the Miami Beach average of $1,826.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 8.2% of renter households. Judgments average 1.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are South Beach and North Beach.
65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
