Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waxahachie

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,925, 19% above the Waxahachie average. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $90,181.

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.
