Census tracts with similar eviction risk
Within Highland Horizon. Closest by Eviction Risk Score.
Cost burden runs 32% here against 43.5% across Williamson County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.
14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.8 points below the Williamson County average of 3.8. Average gross rent is $1,835, 14% below the Brushy Creek average.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.
Against average income of $141,221, annual rent is just 16%. 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. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
