Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Palmview

The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 33.5% against 11.3% nationally.

At $433 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Palmview commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 50.4% against 31.5% nationally.

54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Hidalgo County average of 42.3%. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 0.6 points above the Hidalgo County average of 3.9. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
