Whispering Lakes Ranch takes in 3 census tracts of League City, TX and houses 12,119 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 19% against 30.5% citywide, putting Whispering Lakes Ranch 11.4% under its own city.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. At $1,378 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of League City commands.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10. The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. That places it #1 of 12 neighborhoods in League City.
Only 16% 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. For a like-for-like read, Montesano and Belterra score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $152,840, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
