Lake Worth Beach Eviction Risk: Elevated

74% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Palm Beach County average of 53.5%. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Set annual rent against average income of $46,978 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Adults with no health insurance runs 31.1% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Palm Beach County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,682 filings here across 11 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 21.7% of renter households. At $1,684 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Lake Worth Beach commands.

In a typical year about 15.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, 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.
