Montgomery Ridge maps to a single census tract in Plano, TX, population 5,811. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 46%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Plano rate of 27.6%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2/10.

Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Plano, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Turnberry Village and Highlands North score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,755, close to the Plano average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $76,438.
