Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Jaime Lake Colonia

Adults with no health insurance runs 44.6% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $34,171 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.4/10.

It sits 0.8 points above the Cameron County average of 3.9. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
