Silhouette Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 15,464 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3–5.4

Silhouette is a 2-tract neighborhood of Allen, TX, population 15,464. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Allen rate of 32.8%.

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

21% 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 voucher gap is 17.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.8/10.

Average gross rent is $2,220, 15% above the Allen average of $1,932. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. That places it #5 of 11 neighborhoods in Allen.

For a like-for-like read, Fountain Park and Allen North score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $122,975. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
