Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Galveston
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Galveston County average of 4.0. Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.2% across Galveston County.
That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,389, close to the Galveston average.
