Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hitchcock
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Galveston County average of 5.0 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.92x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 50th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
