East Buena Vista Addition Colonia Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,461 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5–5.1

East Buena Vista Addition Colonia is a 2-tract neighborhood of Alice, TX, population 7,461. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.7/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Against a Alice baseline of 43.2%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.5% of renter households. Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Mayes Addition Colonia and North Hilltop Addition Colonia score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $950, close to the Alice average.

With little internal variation, 5.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
