Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Montesano

At $3,501 a month, rents run 108% over what the rest of League City commands. The voucher gap is 129.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $130,417, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against the Galveston County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 7% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
