Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mata Colonia Number 2

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 41.4% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10.

Disability prevalence runs 44.0% against 31.5% nationally. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 0.6 points above the Hidalgo County average of 3.9. At $764 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Penitas commands.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $38,776.
