Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bacliff
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Galveston County average of 5.0 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.92x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 65th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
