Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brownwood

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is regional political climate at 1.4/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 0.6 points above the Brown County average of 3.8. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $56,011, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $832, close to the Brownwood average. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
