Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Beach

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Against the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. Against Miami-Dade County at 57.9%, 72% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $48,292, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 80% 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.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.4% against 11.3% nationally.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 118 evictions over 2 years of observation. At $1,548 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Miami Beach commands. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.7% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
