Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Escalera Ranch

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against Williamson County at 43.5%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $2,233 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Leander commands. The voucher gap is 14.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 0.8 points below the Williamson County average of 3.8. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $184,108, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
