On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.7/10.
That places it #13 of 17 neighborhoods in College Station. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $98,801.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
