Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Los Cuates South Colonia
around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Cameron County average of 42.8%. Adults with no health insurance runs 44.7% against 11.3% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. Court records carry 23 eviction filings across 3 observed years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 4.4% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $999, 8% above the Brownsville average. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
