College Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Texarkana

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

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. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 29.2% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 1.3 points above the Miller County average of 4.1. At $804 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Texarkana commands. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the AR average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
