Kiskadee Heights maps to a single census tract in Harlingen, TX, population 5,446. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 28.7% citywide, putting Kiskadee Heights 27.4% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $1,225, 32% above the Harlingen average of $928. The voucher gap is 29.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
25% 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. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
On the high side is supply constraint at 7.9/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #7 of 12 neighborhoods in Harlingen.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Las Palmas Colonia and Juarez Colonia.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $68,750.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
