South Beach maps to a single census tract in New Smyrna Beach, FL, population 2,301. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
24% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the New Smyrna Beach rate of 33.6%. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. The voucher gap is 22.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $2,099 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of New Smyrna Beach commands. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 2.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of New Smyrna Beach, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
Only 10% 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. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
