Nuevo Santander takes in 4 census tracts of McAllen, TX and houses 13,378 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 20.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a McAllen baseline of 30.5%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. At $1,197 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of McAllen commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.1/10. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of McAllen, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Del Sol and The Embers. Against average income of $101,322, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
