Ennis Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Ellis County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,353, close to the Ennis average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
