· range 3–4.6
Mackenzie Park spans 3 census tracts of Lubbock, TX and houses 6,011 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Lubbock baseline of 33.1%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
At $923 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Lubbock commands. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Lubbock, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are North By Northwest and South Overton. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $45,199.
