Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highlands North

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 2.9/10. 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 Plano eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Collin County average of 4.7 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is White and Asian and ranks around the 44th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 836 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 7.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.3% of renter households in 2009.

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