Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Seven Lights

Adults with no health insurance runs 45.8% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Disability prevalence runs 48.8% against 31.5% nationally. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $40,000, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,113 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Laredo commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Laredo eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.9/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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