Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Delray Beach

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $60,888 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Palm Beach County average of 4.1. Cost burden runs 60% here against 53.5% across Palm Beach County. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,645, 16% below the Delray Beach average. The filing record is not thin: 154 evictions over 11 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 8.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
