Riverside Eviction Risk: Lower , Brownsville

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Cameron County at 42.8%, 32% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.0% of renter households. At $845 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Brownsville commands.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
