Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Terrell

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

Against the Kaufman County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.3% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,215, close to the Terrell average.

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.
