South Beach Eviction Risk: Elevated , Miami Beach

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Miami-Dade County average of 57.9%.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $40,744, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $1,274 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Miami Beach commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.0% against 11.3% nationally.

Court records carry 51 eviction filings across 2 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 2.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Miami. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

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.
