Acacia maps to a single census tract in Harlingen, TX and houses 2,896 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Harlingen rate of 28.7%.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.4/10. At $577 a month, rents sit 38% under what the rest of Harlingen commands. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 29 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 2.7% of renter households.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Harlingen, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Fountain View Village and River Oaks. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 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.
