Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Place

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Collin County average of 4.7 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
