Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Edinburg

Adults with no health insurance runs 46.8% against 11.3% nationally. 27% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Hidalgo County average of 42.3%. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence runs 44.8% against 31.5% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $40,675, annual rent is just 15%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
