Pharr Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 26% here against 42.3% across Hidalgo County. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $760, 27% below the Pharr average. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10.

The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $68,276, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Hidalgo County average of 3.9 closely.

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