Analysis

What drives eviction risk in St. Johns

This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
