Palm Beach Gardens Eviction Risk: Lower

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,501 a month, rents run 45% over what the rest of Palm Beach Gardens commands. The voucher gap is 60.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $129,826 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 1.1 points below the Palm Beach County average of 4.1.

Court records carry 47 eviction filings across 11 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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