Delray Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $56,714, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 53.5% across Palm Beach County.

The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Palm Beach County average of 4.1. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 296 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 8.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
