Woodland Oaks Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,369 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Woodland Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Harlingen, TX and houses 2,369 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 28.7% citywide, putting Woodland Oaks 18.7% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,086, 17% above the Harlingen average of $928.

The voucher gap is 14.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #12 of 12 neighborhoods in Harlingen.

Only 17% 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. For a like-for-like read, Treasure Hills and Stone Pine score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
