San Benito Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 8.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from San Benito, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Cameron County average of 4.5 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 88 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 3.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.1% of renter households in 2018.

The tract is predominantly Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 98th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
