Los Ebanos takes in 6 census tracts of Brownsville, TX, population 19,089. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Brownsville rate of 29.2%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.4. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 206 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Brownsville, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Los Puentes and Los Cuates South Colonia score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $950, close to the Brownsville average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
