Legend Crest Eviction Risk: Lower
3 census tracts · pop 12,528 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.2–4.3
Legend Crest is a 3-tract neighborhood of The Colony, TX, population 12,528. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Cost burden runs 18% against 26.7% citywide, putting Legend Crest 8.8% under its own city. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.3, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Court records for this tract carry 213 eviction filings. 11% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 14.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Legend Trails and The W's.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,929, close to the The Colony average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $109,008.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 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.
