Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pharr

Cost burden runs 37% here against 42.3% across Hidalgo County. The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,160 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Pharr commands. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10.
