Waters Edge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,701 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Waters Edge is a one-tract neighborhood of Port Orange, FL, population 6,701. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 13% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Port Orange rate of 32.2%.

Average gross rent is $2,365, 45% above the Port Orange average of $1,634. The voucher gap is 37.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $115,110.

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.
