Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Boca Raton

Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 40.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 9/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $96,382, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $3,068 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Boca Raton commands. Court records carry 170 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Palm Beach County average of 4.1 closely. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
