Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sorority Row

The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $31,452, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 76% 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.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against Brazos County at 53.3%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 0.9 points above the Brazos County average of 4.3. Court records carry 7 eviction filings across 2 observed years. The worst year on record was 2007, when 0.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 0.4% of renter households face a filing.

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