Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,716, close to the Sonterra average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $90,903.
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.
