Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakefield West
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 60.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $3,501, 37% above the Wellington average.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.1 points below the Palm Beach County average of 4.1.
Court records carry 35 eviction filings across 11 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 11.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
