Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Melissa
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10.
At $1,799 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Melissa commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 62 filings here across 13 tracked years.
Against the Collin County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10.
