North By Northwest Eviction Risk: Lower , Lubbock

Average gross rent is $1,660, 40% above the Lubbock average. Against Lubbock County at 45.8%, 31% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.9/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 0.6 points below the Lubbock County average of 3.6. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $133,770, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
