Melbourne Beach Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 10 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Brevard County average of 3.9.

The worst year on record was 2018, when 2.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 18% 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. Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 52% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $1,347, close to the Melbourne Beach average.

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.
