Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pharr

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.5/10.

Average gross rent is $786, 24% below the Pharr average. Against the Hidalgo County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 10/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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