Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southwood Valley

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Brazos County average of 53.3%.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 35 filings here across 2 tracked years.

Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 3/10. The worst year on record was 2007, when 2.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Brazos County average of 4.3 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.
