Sorority Row takes in 4 census tracts of College Station, TX, population 15,476. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 39.4% citywide, putting Sorority Row 19.5% over its own city.
37% 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. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
86% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot is economic stress at 8.5/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.9 to 5.2, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Filings are well documented here: 43 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 1.1% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,121, 6% below the College Station average of $1,194. That places it #10 of 17 neighborhoods in College Station.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
