Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Las Americas

Against Webb County at 47.8%, 100% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 33.7% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Laredo eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Webb County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
