Galveston Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $39,243, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

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 1.8 points. Against Galveston County at 46.2%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Adults with no health insurance runs 25.7% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,167, 10% below the Galveston average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
