Palm Springs is a 5-tract suburb of Palm Springs, FL and houses 22,002 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Palm Springs baseline of 35.4%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 4 to 5.9. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Court records carry 1,420 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 11.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,572, close to the Palm Springs average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $70,651.
