New Braunfels Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Comal County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,709, close to the New Braunfels average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $78,744.

39% 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.
