Texarkana Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 68% 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.

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Miller County average of 44.4%.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation runs 22.3% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Miller County average of 4.1 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
