The Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower , Lubbock

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Lubbock County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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