Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Montesano

Against Galveston County at 46.2%, 71% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $1,195 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of League City commands. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Galveston County average of 4.0.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $92,868, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
