Tierra Prieta Colonia maps to a single census tract in Donna, TX, population 6,315. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 35.3% citywide, putting Tierra Prieta Colonia 28.6% over its own city.
36% 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. What pushes the score up most is housing-court posture at 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.7/10.
Average gross rent is $904, 12% above the Donna average of $806. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $50,670.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
