Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brownsville
Adults with no health insurance runs 40.1% against 11.3% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 55% here against 42.8% across Cameron County.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,092 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Brownsville commands.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions over 3 years of observation. The voucher gap is 15.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 7.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
