Old Floresta is a 9-tract neighborhood of Boca Raton, FL and houses 30,520 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Boca Raton rate of 39.9%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.8, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
The voucher gap is 17.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 943 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 22.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Average gross rent is $2,315, 8% below the Boca Raton average of $2,508. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $108,900.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.4 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.
