Lake Worth Beach Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Palm Beach County average of 4.1.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,222, 21% below the Lake Worth Beach average.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.1% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against Palm Beach County at 53.5%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The filing record is not thin: 451 evictions over 11 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 11.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
