Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Margate

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $50,978 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 68% here against 59.1% across Broward County. Court records carry 678 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.7% against 11.3% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 22.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 16.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Broward County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,725, close to the Margate average.
