Elva is a 2-tract neighborhood of Red Oak, TX and houses 15,219 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Red Oak rate of 42.7%.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,774, 8% below the Red Oak average of $1,920. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $85,919.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
