New Territory Eviction Risk: Lower , Sugar Land

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Fort Bend County average of 42.8%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,643, 16% below the Sugar Land average.

On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Fort Bend County average of 3.8 closely.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $75,385.

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