Analysis

What drives eviction risk in De Soto

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $80,827, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
