Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Boca Raton

Cost burden runs roughly three in four here against 53.5% across Palm Beach County. Set annual rent against average income of $44,615 and the ratio lands at 57%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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