Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sorority Row

The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from College Station eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Brazos County average of 5.1 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 7 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 0.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 0.5% of renter households in 2007.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 31st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
