Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Embers
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $1,634 a month, rents run 56% over what the rest of McAllen commands. The voucher gap is 64.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Against the Hidalgo County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.6% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $116,641, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
