Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whispering Lakes Ranch

The voucher gap is 39.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.9/10.

Average gross rent is $2,128, 26% above the League City average. Against the Galveston County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $162,490, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
