Southview Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,861 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Southview is a one-tract neighborhood of Laredo, TX and houses 1,861 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 46%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Laredo rate of 32.2%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is economic stress at 7.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,101, 7% above the Laredo average of $1,030.

Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
