Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kern Place
The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the El Paso County average of 5.0 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of A ("Best"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 1.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.7% of renter households in 2012.
