Galveston Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Set annual rent against average income of $38,681 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Adults with no health insurance runs 29.7% against 11.3% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Galveston County average of 4.0.

This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Galveston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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