New Braunfels Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. At $1,310 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of New Braunfels commands.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 2 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Filings peaked in 2004 at 1.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Guadalupe County average of 3.7 closely.

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.
