Slaton-Bean spans 6 census tracts of Lubbock, TX, population 13,540. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Lubbock rate of 33.1%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
At $1,036 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Lubbock commands. That places it #3 of 11 neighborhoods in Lubbock. For a like-for-like read, Elm Park and South Overton score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 6 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $48,434.
55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
