Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Los Ebanos

Adults with no health insurance runs 42.8% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $27,259 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 79% 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.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 42.8% across Cameron County.

Disability prevalence runs 45.2% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.2% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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