Millbrook East Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 17,476 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3.4–5.4

Millbrook East takes in 4 census tracts of Lancaster, TX and houses 17,476 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. Against a Lancaster baseline of 42.7%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 5.4, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,838, 8% above the Lancaster average of $1,704.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $69,287.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
