Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Vista Hills

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 25.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,885, 14% above the New Braunfels average.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Comal County average of 3.8 closely.

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