Bivins Addition Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 12,093 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3–4.5

Bivins Addition spans 5 census tracts of Amarillo, TX, population 12,093. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 28.6% citywide, putting Bivins Addition 16.1% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2/10. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,010, 8% below the Amarillo average of $1,092. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $54,516. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
