Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dickinson

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. At $1,449 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Dickinson commands. Against the Galveston County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $81,654. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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