Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Palm Valley
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Palm Valley, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the St. Johns County average of 3.9 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 22nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 237 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 6.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.9% of renter households in 2008.
