Ironton Eviction Risk: Lower , Lubbock

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $75,882, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
