Roosevelt School Colonia is a 3-tract neighborhood of Weslaco, TX and houses 12,148 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Weslaco baseline of 29.1%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8.4/10.
Average gross rent is $749, 23% below the Weslaco average of $967. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $47,511, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
