Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Santa Fe
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 8.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Santa Fe, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Galveston County average of 5.0 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and multiracial or other-race 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.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.05x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
