River Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower , Merritt Island

Severe burden reaches 25%. 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 softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. At $1,137 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Merritt Island commands. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Brevard County average of 48.9%.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Brevard County average of 3.9 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $64,279.

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.
