Greatwood takes in 3 census tracts of Sugar Land, TX, population 13,261. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 38.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the high side is supply constraint at 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records carry 370 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Against a Sugar Land baseline of 30.9%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.7% of renter households. At $2,119 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Sugar Land commands. That places it #7 of 9 neighborhoods in Sugar Land.
Judgments average 6.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 20% 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. For a like-for-like read, Austin Park and Colony Park score within a fraction of it.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
