Palm Bay Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 21% 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. Average gross rent is $1,433, 10% below the Palm Bay average. That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 13% 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 4.1/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Brevard County average of 3.9 closely.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $66,088.

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