Knightwood Eviction Risk: Lower , Harlingen

57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Cameron County average of 42.8%. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.4% against 11.3% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $77,344, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Cameron County average of 3.9 closely. Average gross rent is $909, close to the Harlingen average.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
