Big Spring Eviction Risk: Lower

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

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, regional political climate reads 2.1/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10. Against average income of $95,503, annual rent is just 18%. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 34% of renters.

It tracks the Howard County average of 3.8 closely.

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.
