North Beach is a 10-tract neighborhood of Miami Beach, FL, population 37,900. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 64% against 35.7% citywide, putting North Beach 28.7% over its own city. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 904 across 10 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.0% of renter households. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,847, close to the Miami Beach average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $74,529.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
