Route 66 Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower , Amarillo

Running cool, 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. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

At $883 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Amarillo commands. Cost burden runs 46% here against 42.1% across Potter County. Against the Potter County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $79,615, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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