Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Athens

Adults with no health insurance runs 35.1% against 11.3% nationally. The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.3/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 47.3% against 31.5% nationally.

At $800 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Athens commands. It sits 1.7 points above the Henderson County average of 3.7.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $40,288.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
