Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McAllen

Adults with no health insurance runs 31.7% against 11.3% nationally. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. Cost burden runs 47% here against 42.3% across Hidalgo County.

That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Hidalgo County average of 3.9 closely.

Average gross rent is $979, close to the McAllen average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $57,290.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
