Deerfield Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 47% here against 59.1% across Broward County. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Set annual rent against average income of $76,297 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $2,263 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Deerfield Beach commands.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Broward County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Court records carry 147 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 7.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
