New Braunfels Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10. At $1,155 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of New Braunfels commands. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Guadalupe County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.3/10. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $68,085. 36% 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.
