Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Starlight Terrace 1

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Comal County average of 42.4%.

Average gross rent is $1,262, 24% below the New Braunfels average. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Comal County average of 3.8.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $59,539. 41% 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.
