Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Starlight Terrace 1

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

It sits 0.8 points above the Comal County average of 3.8. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $73,750, annual rent is just 10%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters. 31% 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.
