Del Sol is a 6-tract neighborhood of McAllen, TX and houses 18,318 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the McAllen rate of 30.5%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The voucher gap is 19.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. At $1,186 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of McAllen commands. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of McAllen, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Nuevo Santander and The Embers score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 6 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $69,550. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
