Fountain Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Allen, TX, population 15,101. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Allen baseline of 32.8%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 140 evictions logged in this tract. The voucher gap is 11.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 7.1% of renter households. Average gross rent is $2,103, 9% above the Allen average of $1,932. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Allen, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. Only 28% 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.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
