Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lubbock

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 59% here against 45.8% across Lubbock County. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 23.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,470 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Lubbock commands.

Against the Lubbock County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.6% against 11.3% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
