Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $30,481, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 71% 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.

Disability prevalence runs 46.0% against 31.5% nationally. Cost burden runs 41% here against 47.8% across Webb County. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. At $866 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Laredo commands. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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