West Palm Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $73,274 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.0 points above the Palm Beach County average of 4.1.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,965, 11% above the West Palm Beach average. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 56% of renters. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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