Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Park
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Boca Raton eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Palm Beach County average of 5.0 and below the Florida statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 3.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.7% of renter households in 2010.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.75x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
