New Territory takes in 4 census tracts of Sugar Land, TX, population 18,410. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
about one in five of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Sugar Land rate of 30.9%. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 22.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,611, 18% below the Sugar Land average of $1,957. 9% 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. That places it #6 of 9 neighborhoods in Sugar Land.
Only 23% 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 Pheasant Creek and Chimneystone.
Against average income of $133,685, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
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.
