Glenshannon Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,557 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Glenshannon is a one-tract neighborhood of Friendswood, TX, population 2,557. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Friendswood baseline of 34.7%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

At $1,248 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Friendswood commands. Only 26% 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. Against average income of $106,302, 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.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
