North Palm Beach takes in 6 census tracts of North Palm Beach, FL and houses 18,705 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. Against a North Palm Beach baseline of 34.3%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Filings are well documented here: 635 across 5 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 7.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Only 28% 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.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,980, close to the North Palm Beach average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $99,625.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
