Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kern Place
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from El Paso eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the El Paso County average of 5.0 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of A ("Best"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 73 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 7.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.9% of renter households in 2012.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
