Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bivins Addition

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 5.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Amarillo eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Potter County average of 4.6 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Part of this tract, about 10% of its area, sat in the redlined grade-D zone on 1930s HOLC maps, though its dominant grade was B ("Still Desirable"). That lending history still correlates with present-day rent burden.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 84th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
