Amarillo Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Potter County average of 42.1%.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.3% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $849, 22% below the Amarillo average. It sits 0.9 points above the Potter County average of 3.7. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Amarillo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
