Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kern Place

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.8/10. It sits 0.9 points below the El Paso County average of 3.9. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 filings here across 1 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 1.2% of renter households were served. Average gross rent is $981, 9% below the El Paso average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $88,889, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
