Valle Hermosa Colonia maps to a single census tract in Brownsville, TX, population 2,514. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against a Brownsville baseline of 29.2%, 23% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.7/10. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Brownsville, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
