Sand Branch is a one-tract suburb of Dallas, TX, population 5,403. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Dallas rate of 30.9%.
The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.9/10. At $1,290 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Dallas commands.
That places it #21 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas. For a like-for-like read, Addison Circle and The Greene score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $70,232.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 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.
