Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Celeste

Cost burden runs about a quarter here against 37.8% across Hunt County. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Hunt County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $69,338, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Average gross rent is $955, close to the Celeste average.

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