Analysis

What drives eviction risk in College Station

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $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 about the same as 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 1 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 0.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 0.1% of renter households in 2005.
