Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Valle Hermosa Colonia

Adults with no health insurance runs 45.2% against 11.3% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.7/10.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 5% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

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

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