Abbey Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 9,276 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.1–5.1

Abbey Village spans 4 census tracts of Delray Beach, FL and houses 9,276 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Cost burden runs 63% against 35.0% citywide, putting Abbey Village 27.9% over its own city. Set annual rent against average household income of $49,630 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.1 to 5.1, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 245 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 10.0% of renter households. At $1,748 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Delray Beach commands.

Judgments average 0.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
