Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Orange Grove

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $869 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Orange Grove commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 22.5% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Jim Wells County average of 4.0.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $55,795.

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.
