Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jensen Beach
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 9.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from North River Shores, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Martin County average of 4.0 and in line with the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 40 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 2.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.0% of renter households in 2016.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 57th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
