Spring Branch Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,309 a month, rents run 40% under what the rest of Spring Branch commands. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Comal County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 12% 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 4/10.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $125,121, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
