Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pharr

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.7/10. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Hidalgo County average of 42.3%. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against the Hidalgo County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,028, close to the Pharr average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $39,787.

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.
