That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 10/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
