Texas City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.8% against 11.3% nationally.

At $1,098 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Texas City commands. It sits 0.7 points above the Galveston County average of 4.0. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $44,750.
