Castlegate II Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,451 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Castlegate II maps to a single census tract in College Station, TX, population 6,451. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 18% against 39.4% citywide, putting Castlegate II 21.7% under its own city.

Average gross rent is $1,885, 58% above the College Station average of $1,194. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 56.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of College Station, it ranks #13 by risk, the lower third. At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Against average income of $149,482, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
