Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southwood Valley

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 23 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 0.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.1% of renter households in 2007.
