Fairlawn Eviction Risk: Elevated , San Marcos

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10. It sits 2.6 points above the Hays County average of 4.7.

This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. Cost burden runs 56% here against 50.2% across Hays County. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.8% against 11.3% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,329, close to the San Marcos average.

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