The Strand is a 2-tract neighborhood of Pearland, TX, population 8,129. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 47%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Pearland baseline of 30.4%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The voucher gap is 51.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
That places it #2 of 17 neighborhoods in Pearland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Iris Shores and Cypress Village. Average gross rent runs $1,914, close to the Pearland average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $108,488. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
