Amarillo Eviction Risk: Moderate

This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

Against the Potter County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. At $978 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Amarillo commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
