What drives eviction risk in Old Town
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 6.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Beaumont eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Jefferson County average of 5.4 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 92nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Part of this tract, about 17% of its area, sat in the redlined grade-D zone on 1930s HOLC maps, though its dominant grade was C ("Declining"). That lending history still correlates with present-day rent burden.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
