Jacinto Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Galena Park, TX and houses 3,037 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Galena Park rate of 27.2%. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 65 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,342 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Galena Park commands.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 8.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.6% in 2015 against a 8.0% peak.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $54,375.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
