Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pharr

Adults with no health insurance runs 44.6% against 11.3% nationally. Cost burden runs 27% here against 42.3% across Hidalgo County. The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Set annual rent against average income of $31,597 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Hidalgo County average of 3.9.

Disability prevalence runs 43.7% against 31.5% nationally. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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