West Palm Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 37%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $48,929, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Palm Beach County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 670 filings here across 11 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 10.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
