Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Millview West

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $32,157, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 59% here against 50.2% across Hays County.
