Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunset Cove
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Galveston County average of 4.0 closely.
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.
