Park West takes in 4 census tracts of College Station, TX, population 18,729. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 57%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 61%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
At $1,092 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of College Station commands. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of College Station, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are TEEX Disaster City(c) and The London.
