Beachside Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,230 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Beachside maps to a single census tract in New Smyrna Beach, FL, population 3,230. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the New Smyrna Beach rate of 33.6%.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 1.0% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 0.8% in 2018 against a 1.0% peak. That places it #4 of 5 neighborhoods in New Smyrna Beach. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are South Beach and Lymestone Ranch. Average gross rent runs $1,769, close to the New Smyrna Beach average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
