New Smyrna Beach Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 57% here against 49.8% across Volusia County. At $2,017 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of New Smyrna Beach commands.

The voucher gap is 17.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 21 filings here across 3 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Volusia County average of 3.8.

Filings peaked in 2017 at 2.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

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.
