Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kirby

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 6.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kirby, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Bexar County average of 5.2 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 265 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 10.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.4% of renter households in 2005.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 47th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
