Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 28.9%: 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.
Against a Sugar Land baseline of 30.9%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
The filing record is not thin: 205 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 5.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Sugar Land, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Average gross rent runs $1,971, close to the Sugar Land average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $86,593.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
