Harlingen Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 51%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 34.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 77% 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.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Cameron County average of 3.9. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters. Average gross rent is $864, close to the Harlingen average.

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