Amarillo Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,376, 26% above the Amarillo average. The voucher gap is 18.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Against the Randall County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 24% 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 6.3/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $73,403.

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.
