Brennard Eviction Risk: Moderate , Big Spring

Adults with no health insurance runs 27.8% against 11.3% nationally. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

On the softer side, regional political climate reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 25% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Howard County average of 30.9%. At $889 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Big Spring commands.

Against the Howard County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $65,392, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 47% 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.
