Continental Square spans 11 census tracts of Lewisville, TX and houses 38,018 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 30.4% citywide, putting Continental Square 15.6% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. The 11 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.5, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 8,175 across 11 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 23.2% of renter households. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Lewisville. Judgments average 7.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Normandy Homes and Golden Park Place score within a fraction of it.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
