Riviera Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. Against the Palm Beach County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Palm Beach County average of 53.5%.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 2,018 evictions over 11 years of observation. At $1,466 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Riviera Beach commands.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 31.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 20.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

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.
