Colony Bend is a one-tract neighborhood of Sugar Land, TX, population 4,494. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 30.9% citywide, putting Colony Bend 24.3% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 26.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Sugar Land. The closest comparables inside the same city are Huntington Village and Settlers Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,927, close to the Sugar Land average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $85,880. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
