Martha's Vineyard maps to a single census tract in Alvin, TX, population 9,630. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Alvin rate of 32.2%.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.
At $1,428 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Alvin commands. The voucher gap is 13.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
