Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whispering Lakes Ranch

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10. Cost burden runs 33% here against 46.2% across Galveston County. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10. At $1,052 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Bacliff commands. Disability prevalence runs 47.1% against 31.5% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Galveston County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $75,045, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

49% 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.
