Cocoa Beach Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Court records carry 64 eviction filings across 10 observed years.

It sits 0.8 points below the Brevard County average of 3.9. The worst year on record was 2003, when 3.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 17% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $123,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

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.
