Wilderness Trails is a one-tract neighborhood of Friendswood, TX and houses 6,992 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 75%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 81% against 34.7% citywide, putting Wilderness Trails 46.5% over its own city. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.2/10.
Only 19% 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 Glenshannon and West Ranch.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
