The Residences at Harrison Park Eviction Risk: Lower
1 census tracts · pop 5,054 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
The Residences at Harrison Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Melissa, TX, population 5,054. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 34.7% citywide, putting The Residences at Harrison Park 26.4% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.
The voucher gap is 22.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Average gross rent is $2,301, 9% below the Melissa average of $2,532. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
