Route 66 Historic District spans 6 census tracts of Amarillo, TX, population 18,806. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Against a Amarillo baseline of 28.6%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool 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. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
At $1,014 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Amarillo commands. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $52,671.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
