Colonia Allende Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,544 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.7–4.2

Colonia Allende takes in 2 census tracts of Alton, TX, population 10,544. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Alton rate of 24.9%. Average gross rent is $845, 19% below the Alton average of $1,038.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $56,962, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 2 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
