· range 4.1–4.1
South Beach maps to a single census tract in Point Roberts, WA, population 1,249. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Against a Point Roberts baseline of 41.3%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings.
Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 3.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2018, is well off that peak.
At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $80,197, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,055, close to the Point Roberts average.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
