Highland Forest Addition takes in 2 census tracts of Flower Mound, TX and houses 7,078 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,236 a month, rents sit 45% under what the rest of Flower Mound commands.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 26% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. 17% 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.
Court records for this tract carry 14 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 1.0% of renter households. The voucher gap is 11.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Recent filings have not receded much: 10.5% in 2016 against a 1.0% peak. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 8% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
