Cape Canaveral Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Brevard County average of 48.9%.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 384 evictions over 10 years of observation. Against the Brevard County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 6.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,222, close to the Cape Canaveral average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $80,823.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
