Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Park

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 85% 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.

The voucher gap is 32.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $100,446, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Palm Beach County average of 4.1.

Average gross rent is $2,892, 15% above the Boca Raton average. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 56% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
