San Benito Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,294 a month, rents run 54% over what the rest of San Benito commands. The voucher gap is 36.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

What pushes it up most is housing-court posture at 8.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 30.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Cameron County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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.
