Melbourne Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,083 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Melbourne commands. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.5 points above the Brevard County average of 3.9.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $43,030.

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.
