Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highland Horizon

77% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Williamson County average of 43.5%. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 0.8 points below the Williamson County average of 3.8.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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