Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Old Floresta

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $92,614 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 26.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Palm Beach County average of 53.5%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.6/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 419 filings here across 11 tracked years. At $2,756 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Boca Raton commands.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 10.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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