Mercedes Eviction Risk: Moderate

Adults with no health insurance runs 34.7% against 11.3% nationally. The score leans hardest on housing-court posture at 9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,028, 27% above the Mercedes average.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, 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.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $46,635. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
