Big Spring Eviction Risk: Lower

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Running cool, regional political climate reads 2.1/10.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Howard County average of 30.9%. Average gross rent is $1,158, 10% above the Big Spring average.

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $90,787, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Howard County average of 3.8 closely.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
