Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colonia Allende

Adults with no health insurance runs 38.8% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The voucher gap is 14.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,132, 9% above the Alton average. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Hidalgo County average of 3.9 closely.

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.
