West Palm Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,433, 19% below the West Palm Beach average.

Against the Palm Beach County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 937 filings here across 11 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 36.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 14.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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