Sovana maps to a single census tract in League City, TX, population 2,745. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 52%. 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 100% against 30.5% citywide, putting Sovana 69.5% over its own city. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 23.5%: 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.
Average gross rent is $1,889, 12% above the League City average of $1,684. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of League City, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 0%, 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
