Cost burden runs 29% here against 42.8% across Cameron County. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. Average gross rent is $842, 9% below the Brownsville average.

On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $69,432, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Cameron County average of 3.9 closely.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
