Sierra Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Atascocita, TX and houses 4,773 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 69% against 24.6% citywide, putting Sierra Ridge 44.0% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 25.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.6/10. That places it #4 of 14 neighborhoods in Atascocita.
Only 14% 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. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,921, close to the Atascocita average.
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.
