Palm Beach Gardens Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $81,198, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 562 filings here across 11 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.6% of renter households were served. At $2,212 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Palm Beach Gardens commands.

In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Palm Beach County average of 4.1 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
